In most cases INREC and OUTREC statements can be used
interchangeably..

The difference between them is more of a performance issue
than anything else.

For Example:

INPUT
------

Name Regn. No. School ADDRESS
____ _________ _______ __________________________

DINA 1657565511 SSV sadadadadadadadadadadadada
EALA 1264546461 SADADADA ddwaedsagfdsdsadadagfdsdsw
ARUN 1214231211 DADARDCA kjhdsakjhgkjdagtsagdsakjhd
SUDA 1212121211 DRADS kiyeakjhsdakjgdajgshaskgsa
RINI 1275655345 AFAASFAF kadhlkjdabgsagkjashksaoksa


Assume, you want to have the sorted names of the people from
this file in the output.

What Inrec would do:

//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=(1,4,CH,A)
INREC FIELDS=(1,4)
/*


Step 1.

Name
____
DINA
EALA
ARUN
SUDA
RINI

Step 2.

Name
____
ARUN
DINA
EALA
RINI
SUDA


If outrec was used, the steps 1 and 2 would be reversed.
