we have 2 types of redefines
1. Explicit redefines -- we generally use in our cobol
logic using redefine keyword.

2. Implicit redefines -- system redefines its spaces
accordingly .. eg: the variable/record defined with 01
level are usually redefined by the system.

this is th ereason why we wont define occurs clause @ 01
level

Explain how will you differentiate between an internal and an external sort, the pros and cons, internal sort syntax etc

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
