This question comes up often enough that I thought I'd post this for search hits.

To determine if you're using DFSORT (from IBM) or Syncsort (from Syncsort, Inc), run the PGM=ICEMAN job below (or any PGM=SORT or PGM=ICEMAN job you like). Look at the SYSOUT output. If it has ICExxxs messages, you're using DFSORT. If it has WERxxxs messages, you're using Syncsort.

Code:

//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=* <--- look at messages
//SORTIN DD *
//SORTOUT DD DUMMY
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
/*

For example, if you're using DFSORT R14, the first two messages you'll get are:

Code:

ICE143I 0 BLOCKSET COPY TECHNIQUE SELECTED
ICE000I 1 - CONTROL STATEMENTS FOR 5740-SM1, DFSORT REL 14.0 ...
