DFSORT is IBM's sort product and an optional feature of z/OS. DFSORT includes ICETOOL and ICEGENER.

Syncsort is Syncsort, Inc's sort product.

The products are similar in many ways, but also have important differences.

For more information on DFSORT, visit the DFSORT website at:

If you or anyone else on this board would like some documents prepared by the DFSORT Team that describe what we see as the advantages of DFSORT over Syncsort, as well as considersations for migrating from Syncsort to DFSORT, send me an e-mail offline (yaeger@us.ibm.com). Please put "DFSORT" somewere in your Subject line to catch my attention.
