Answer / khasim

Search is Sequential Search. Records need not in sorted
orer.
Searchall is Binary Search. Records should be in sorted
order.

In Search we should set position where we start.
In Searchall, we will not set the position.

We can write more than one WHEN clause in Search. But in
search all we should write only one WHEN clause.

Our issue is there seems to be a disconnect, or no link, between our SELECT statement and our SD. We had SELECT SORT-FILE and SELECT SORT-FILE ASSIGN TO SORTWRK. ASSIGN TO SORTWRK1 SORTWRK2 SORTWRK3 SORTWRK4. with SD SORT_FILE RECORD CONTAINS 7833 CHARACTERS. In either case, at run time, the system ignored our SORTWRK# DD statements and allocated 16 sort works with the SORTWK## naming convention. Any ideas why the system does not recognize the connection? We do not even need the SORTWRK DD statements. Thanks
