Re: Sorting a program described file

Booth,

Construct a LF over your S36 file. Create the fields you need in the LF, and
then sort with those..

P.S. The term is brain-fart. Not that yours has been running flat for years,
but.. :-)

This may be a brain flat.

I have a Sys/36 environment program described file (QS36F) with no
index. I want to order the file for processing by field 1, field 3, and
field 2 (not contiguous, not in order). Until now it has been done with
a #gsort in OCL, and works fine.

I would like to not use OCL. Any ideas?
