what is the advantage of using redefines instead of
delaring the variables ?

Answer Posted / m r reddy

--Redefines is used to re-use the storage space irrespective of the data type.
--Using redefines more than one field can re-use the same memory.

Ex: 01 a pic x(5) value 'xyz12'.
01 b redefines a pic x(3).

Here a=xyz12 value is stored and
b=xyz value is stored. B is reuse the A's Memory

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
