About NetCOBOL Line Sequential files
The NetCOBOL line sequential file can be processed as a text file in PowerBSORT.
Specify it as follows when you process the NetCOBOL line sequential file. However, note that file sharing and exclusive control of the NetCOBOL file system is not executed.
File system specifies "Native file system of the system".

About NetCOBOL file system (BSAM-compatible sequential file)
PowerBSORT can process NetCOBOL sequential file corresponding to BSAM.
In the following, it explains the notes when the NetCOBOL sequential file corresponding to BSAM is processed.
Specify "NetCOBOL file system (BSAM-compatible sequential file)" for file system of the input or output file when you process NetCOBOL sequential file corresponding to BSAM.
The size of the maximum file treatable by "NetCOBOL file system (sequential file)" is 1GB. Be treatable of the file that exceeds 1GB in "NetCOBOL file system (BSAM-compatible sequential file)".
If the NetCOBOL file system (BSAM-compatible sequential file) is specified, record exclusivity may not be maintained, depending on the NetCOBOL file system.
Even if the NetCOBOL file system (BSAM-compatible sequential file) is specified, if your NetCOBOL file system is not compatible, files are handled as NetCOBOL file system (sequential file).
For details on BSAM compatibility, refer to the documentation of your NetCOBOL file system.
