PowerBSORT can be used from COBOL programs created by NetCOBOL.
The runtime system of NetCOBOL automatically calls PowerBSORT once PowerBSORT has been installed. When a NetCOBOL program uses the SORT or MERGE statement, PowerBSORT is substituted for the intrinsic sort/merge function.
Existing NetCOBOL programs will use PowerBSORT automatically and do not require source code changes, recompilation or special runtime settings.
