Sort-Stubs in Report RPTSRC

A sort-stub is a string containing information that can be used to sort lines in report RPTSRC. Each record in the report RPTSRC contains a sort-stub (beginning in column 81). Information in the sort stub includes:

• Dataset ID
• Member name
• Rule-sequence-number
• Line number
• Number of lines in member
• Number of lines in the member not counting comments and blank lines
• Number of lines in rule
• Product code
• Event type code
• Output dataset ID
• Output member name

Rules can be sorted into groups to suit your conversion work plan, while keeping all the lines of a given rule together.

The following screen segment contains sort-stubs:

Note: When sorting report RPTSRC, the last four sort fields must be Dataset ID, Member name, Rule-sequence-number, and Line number (in that order). Including these sort fields in this way, ensures that each rule is sorted as a unit (meaning, title and text lines of each rule are kept together and in order).
