Hi vinit

the Release is used in SORT

SORT SORTFILE ON ASCENDING /DESCENDING KEY sd-key-1 sd-key2
USING file1 file2 / INPUT PROCEDURE IS section-1
GIVING file3 / OUTPUT PROCEDURE is section-2
END-SORT

INPUT PROCEDURE and USING are mutually exclusive. If USING is used, then file1 and files should not be opened or READ explicitly. If INPUT PROCEDURE is used then File1 and file2 need to be OPENed and READ the records one by one until end of the file and pass the required records to sort-work-file using the command RELEASE.
Syntax: RELEASE sort-work-record from input-file-record.

Thanks
Siva
