Here the sort is considered as an internal sort that is we
want to manipulate the data before feeding it to sort.Else
in rest of the cases we use external sort.
The syntax is :
SORT SORTFILE ON ASCENDING/DESCENDING KEY
USING FILE1,FILE2/ INPUT PROCEDURE PARA-1
GIVING FILE3/ OUTPUT PROCEDURE PARA-2

There is no need in an as400 COBOL shop to ever use a sort.
Data is organized by keyed physical files or alternate
logical paths over the physical path. The most Inefficient
thing you can do in as400 cobol is to have the program
attempt to sort data
