Re: DF in DF Sort?
once upon a time IBM started prefixing the data management product name with
the acronym of Data Facility
DFEF Data Facility Extended Functions
DFP Data Facility Product
DFSORT
DFSMS
DFHSM
DFDSF
DFDSS
later on some of the names were changed to include also sms into it
DFsmsDSS
DFsmsDSF

When I tell somebody to RTFM or STFW I usually have the page open in another tab/window of my browser,
so that I am sure that the information requested can be reached with a very small effort

I would suspect Data Facility, but I am not sure if that was retrofitted to the name or if DF always meant that for the Sort product.

Re: DF in DF Sort?
Thank you enrico and Robert. I made some search on the IBM site but I could not find a section where they define these terms.... looks like no one is usually want to know all this...
