IBM System/360 20 User Manual

The TPS Sort/Merge program contained in
card-image format on the tape supplied by
IBM can be executed under control of either
the card-resident or the tape-resident sys-
tem. If it is to be executed under control
of the card-resident system, it must be
contained in punched cards. If it is to be
executed under control of the tape-resident
system, it must be included in the program
library on the user's system tape.
The TPS Sort/Merge program consists of
the following parts:
Assignment
Internal sorting
External Sorting
Merging
phases 0-7
phases 8- 9
phases 10-11
phases 12-13
Three types of job can be performed by
means of the TPS Sort/Merge program:
1. A single input tape file can be sorted
and written onto tape in a specified
order.
2. Two to five sorted input tape files can
be merged and written onto tape as one
sorted file.
3. A single sorted tape file can be
sequence-checked and/or reblocked while
being copied.
