what is internal sort and external sort ?
which is preferable ?
Answer Posted / tejas sheth
Hi
For internal sort you need to code a program by specifying
the sort criteria and that the program need to be compiled
and linked.
But in case of External sort there is no need for coding the
program.Moreover you can change the sort criteria just by
changing the sort parameters that passed thru the SYSIN card.
So the external sort is more efficient compared to internal
sort.
