MVS Sort Migration 
Proven Conversion and Performance in JCL Sort Rehosting Projects
Challenges:
You need to re-host, and eventually expand from, your legacy sort product operations when migrating to open systems. MVS JCL sort steps will not work in a Unix shell or Windows command line environment. Parm conversion will be necessary.

You are looking for functional equivalence, equal or better sorting performance, lower operational costs, a more modern application syntax, and support for more data transformation and reporting functionality.

Solutions:
CoSort's Sort Control Language (SortCL) program is the destination for sort parms written for MVS JCL sort software, first propagated by IBM in DF-SORT.

CoSort provides a free sort card conversion utility called MVS2SCL to translate the relevant sort (select, sum, etc.) steps from a JCL stream into a functionally-equivalent SortCL job specification file. Metadata is converted and accommodations are made for multiple output and data types.

Beyond rehosting lies a wide range of available data transformation, reporting, protection, and prototyping functionality that allows you to consider more operational possibilities subsequent to the migration, within the same product, at no additional charge.
