Have you tried creating a source member in PDM? Use source type #GSORT.
Edit the source member, prompt a source line (F4), and then use F23 to
select the source type you want information about. The system knows about
RH, RR, RF and RC prompt lines, with help for the fields. You can also
use source type SRT36 to find information about those lines.

Re: System/36 Sort Reference manual






It's the "almost" part that's the problem. I have to convert some old
#GSORT code, and I need the layout of the old S/36 sort specs (every
column of the H, I, and F specs) to determine exactly what the sort is
doing. FMTDTA's specs are similar but there are some differences.

I can't seem to find the information anywhere. I am going nuts or did I
just have the layout memorized 20 years ago? Does anyone still have the
old System/36 Sort manual? Does it even exist, or was the information in
another manual?

TA




Tim,

Look at the manual for the FMTDTA command. The sort specs are almost
identical.

on.
I've got the AS/400 Sort User's Guide and Reference, which helps some,

but
there were columns used on the 36 that have been eliminated.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
