INREC

The following parameters of this SYNCSORT control statement are supported in MFSORT and MFJSORT. To enable this support, set the MFJSENGINE environment variable.

Note: SYNCSORT emulation allows you to omit the equals sign (=) between a keyword and its bracketed parameters; for example, OUTREC(05:5,10).
