Join Vs Concatenation on VSAM datasets

Post by SweetShak » Thu Jun 06, 2013 4:07 pm

Hi,

Can anybody please calrify me.

How is that VSAM datasets are allowed sorting during JOINKEYS operation, but SORT FIELDS=COPY does not work for concatenation?

(Though MERGE FIELDS option and MULTIIN facility allows the concatenation)?

Hoping I made my doubt clear, thanks in advance.
Sweetie
