ofs

This specifies the file system of the output file.
Specify a file system in an identifier. For more information, refer to the File system that can be specified.

ifs

This specifies the file system of the input file.
Specify a file system in an identifier. For more information, refer to the File system that can be specified.
File systems of input files can be specified corresponding to the input file. To specify two or more file systems, specify the file systems delimiting with comma (,) in the specified order of the input files. When the number of the input files is more than the number specified for the file system, the last file system specified for the file system is applied to the remaining input files. When the number of the input files is less than the number specified for the file system, the excessively specified file systems are ignored.

File systems that can be specified

The file systems that can be specified are shown below.
When cob1, cob2, and cob3 are specified for an identifier, it is necessary to define BSORT_FILESYS_fs of a startup file to associate the identifier with an actual file system. NetCOBOL file system can be specified for COBOL file system.
