1.5.2 Combination of the file type of the input files and the output files

As for the file types of input file and output file, different file types can be specified within the range of the following combinations.

Input file type	Output file type
Text file	Text file
Binary fixed length file	Binary fixed length file NetCOBOL sequential, physical sequential, indexed, relative file
NetCOBOL sequential, physical sequential, indexed, relative file	Binary fixed length file (for the fixed-length record form only) NetCOBOL sequential, physical sequential, indexed, relative file

Note

The maximum file size that can be handled in PowerBSORT is based on the limitations of each file system. Refer to the manual of each file system for its limitation value.
