Just poke SORT AQ,A into a google box and read. Learn how to find it in the manual for a full description.

dn2012,

See the discussions of the ALTSEQ statement, the SORT statement, and Data Formats in "z/OS DFSORT Application Programming Guide" at:

Note that the ALTSEQ table can also be set via the ALTSEQ= installation option.
