EXTERNAL keyword

If you use the default HALDB(Y) keyword, you can use the EXTERNAL keyword to control whether sort tasks are created in the same address space as the change accumulation task or in a different address space.

Creating the sort task in a separate address space reduces storage requirements for the Change Accumulation utility and improves performance of the Change Accumulation job step. For more information, see Log-SORT-tasks-in-EXTERNAL-address-spaces.

If the HALDB(N) keyword is specified, the EXTERNAL keyword is ignored.

Uses

Optional on GLBL and SORT control statements

Also optional in a global options module
