| Has anyone written DFSORT exits in C?

I have written a great many of them in PL/I, a dozen or so in C, and
even a pair of them in COBOL.

There are no significant problems; if language support does not
already make an interfacing routine available--for IBM-supplied SLPLs
it invariably does---one must write a one-off one in assembly
language, but they are literally trivial.  (it would of course be
possible to do the necessary pointer manipulations directly in C or
PL/I, but they are better encapsulated.)

I have not been following this thread closely, but I have so far seen
no mention of the very good P/M facilities that Perl makes available.
