Re: Would it be a reasonable to ask IBM's programmers to write a %sortsfl(sfl: column) ?

I've always wondered why they didn't do that a long time ago.

However, I think a BIF is the wrong place for this. It should be a DDS keyword. It doesn't belong in RPG, it belongs in DDS as an attribute of the subfile itself. (And therefore available in all languages that use DDS subfiles.)

This should've been done 20 years ago. Now it seems almost too late! I mean, does it pay to put money into green-screen interfaces today?

On the face of it, it seems like this would be both an easy and a nice addition to the %bif catalog.
