specifies the name of a partitioned data set.

Details

The SORTLIB= option specifies the name of the partitioned data set (load library) that contains the host sort utility (other than the main module that is specified by the SORTPGM= or SORTNAME= option). This library is dynamically allocated to the ddname SORTLIB. If the host sort utility resides in a link list library or if the sort library is part of the JOBLIB, STEPLIB, or TASKLIB libraries, then this option is unnecessary and should not be specified.
