Hi All,

We currently have syncsort and we have been pressurizing the top management to move over to DFsort.

I would like to know what are the advantages that DFsort has over Syncsort. Is there any doc available for this ?

Frank,

Could you please help me out with this ?

I'll get my point in early! We have both and keep Syncsort purely for the MaxSort function of automatically breaking very large files into smaller sorts/merges. DFSORT suggests alternative to MaxSort but they are not automatic.

I feel DFSORT does have great documentation and many helpful samples available via the Internet.

Martin,

If you or anyone else on this board would like some documents prepared by the DFSORT Team that describe what we see as the advantages of DFSORT over Syncsort, as well as considersations for migrating from Syncsort to DFSORT, send me an e-mail offline (yaeger@us.ibm.com). Please put "DFSORT" somewhere in your Subject line to catch my attention.
