Datatek's TBAM-Sort is a powerful data
manipulation and sorting tool. TBAM-Sort allows you to conditionally
retrieve and sort records, merge multiple files, and optionally modify record
formats and their contents. TBAM-Sort supports the same syntax as DG/SORT
and works with a variety of file formats,
including TBAM databases.
Some of the operations that can be done using TBAM-Sort include the
following:
Insert / Delete / Duplicate / Rearrange data record fields
Replace existing data record fields with smaller or larger fields
Perform standard translations (e.g., ASCII to EBCDIC)
Create customized translation tables
Convert record types (e.g., variable length records to fixed length)
Conditionally skip records
Sort on custom collating sequences
Remove duplicate records
TBAM-Sort supports an easy-to-use scripting language,
which allows the extraction and reformatting of data using a script containing
only a
few lines, thus eliminating the need to write custom data
extrator/manipulator programs. For more
