Operation
Use SORT to sort files based on single-key or multiple-key items. Use MERGE to merge data from two or more sorted files into a single, new file. SORT-MERGE/XL operates as a standalone utility (either interactively or in batch mode), or from within a program. You can use SORT-MERGE/XL to sort or merge data in various ways. Some sequences that you might choose as the basis for sorting or merging data are:
alphabetically in either an ascending or descending order
numerically in either an ascending or descending order
alphabetically or numerically based on a single key data items
alphabetically or numerically based on multiple key data items
define a unique collating sequence for your application
