John, Because some functions of DFSORT/ICETOOL are implemented as PTFs, you can't assume that a function isn't available if it isn't documented at a particular level of the book. Doc for a funcitonal PTF is first made available as a paper and then added to the next level of the book later. The JOINKEYS PTF is available all the way back to z/OS DFSORT V1R5. JOINKEYS was documented in the following paper at GA of the PTF http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=114&uid=isg3T7000174 and is now documented in the DFSORT books. I know it's confusing, but we don't update old levels of the books for new functions.
