Using File Equations in SORT/XL

An alternative method for designating the input and output files is to establish file equations at the MPE XL colon prompt (:) before you access the SORT/XL subsystem. Then when you access SORT/XL, you need only enter the >KEY and >END commands, as follows:

     :FILE INPUT=EMPLOYEE   

     :FILE OUTPUT=COMPANY  

     :SORT
