1 The first command in a job must be the JOB command, followed by the user name, account name,

andoptionally the group name. Inproductionwork it isuseful to specify a job name beforethe user

name to identify the specific job that is being run. In this example, TSTXSRT1 is the job name.

2 Comment lines are used to describe the function or nature of the job.

3 The first program to be run in the job is FCOPY. It is included in order to show the contents of the

input file prior to sorting. FCOPY is instructed to copy from the file TSTIN to the standard job/

session device, $STDLIST.

4 A file named TSTOUT is used for each of the jobs. It is purged initially to make sure that the name

does not exist in the group.

5 The file referenced as XSORTIN is equated to the actual file named TSTIN.

6 The file referenced as XSORTOUT is equated to the actual file named TSTOUT.

7 The program XSORT.PUB.SYS is run.

8 These are the specifications for the sort. Note that they are not entered with the exclamation point

since they are used as data by the XSORT program, instead of being used as MPE commands.

9 !EOD, entered with an exclamation point, indicates that you have entered all necessary data for

the sort.

10 The output file TSTOUT is to be saved.

11 !EOJ signifies that you have completed the job entries.

The following is a physically condensed copy of the previous example after it was run. It includes the

output of the sort.
