SORT-MERGE/XL 

Use SORT to sort files based on single or multiple key items.  You can
sort data alphabetically, numerically, or in a collating sequence you
define; you can request ascending or descending order.  Use MERGE to
merge data from two or more sorted files into a single, new file.
SORT-MERGE/XL operates from within a program, or as a standalone utility
in either interactive or batch mode.

              or     
     SORT                RUN SORT.PUB.SYS 

              or     
     MERGE               RUN MERGE.PUB.SYS
