bytes of stack space. If you specify SCRATCHON, you cannot specify
NOSCRATCHON.
Enclose NOSCRATCHON volume names in parentheses and separate the names
with commas. FastSort recognizes the wild-card characters * and ? for
NOSCRATCHON volume names. See the description of SCRATCHON under
Setting DEFINE Attributes on page 7-2 for examples of how to use these
characters.
SCRATCHON (scratch-vol [, scratch-vol]...)
specifies the volumes that FastSort should use for overflow scratch files. If the
initial scratch volume becomes full, FastSort tries to create overflow scratch files
on a SCRATCHON volume. You can specify up to 31 SCRATCHON volumes. Note
that this attribute requires up to 276 additional bytes of stack space. If you specify
NOSCRATCHON, you cannot specify SCRATCHON.
Enclose SCRATCHON volume names in parentheses and separate the names
with commas. FastSort recognizes the wild-card characters * and ? for
SCRATCHON volume names. See the description of SCRATCHON under Setting
DEFINE Attributes on page 7-2 for examples of how to use these characters.

SAVE Command
Use the SAVE command to retain FastSort command parameters from a sort or merge
run for future use. To retain the command parameters after a run, you must issue the
SAVE command before you issue the RUN command. If you do not issue SAVE and
RUN in this order, the command parameters are no longer in effect after the run
finishes or if a warning occurs for a RUN command.
