IIRC it stands for Sort Random Access Method. It is a product that is called by user written programs like an internal sort. However, it can perform multiple sorts at once. I don't believe it uses any part of CA-Sort so you could have programs that are still using it and you might not know. You could do something like rename the load library and see what happens.

We've had SRAM from CA going back to the DOS days. In those day's we actually had CA-Sort. We are now Z/os and management is questioning why we still have it since we use IBM Sort. We have other CA products but no longer have CA-Sort. Anyone from CA know? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
