Re: Sorting DSPOBJD outfile by ascending date

Hi, James:

You could just create a Logical File over that physical file, keyed by YY, MM, DD, followed by any other fields you want to consider as keys, such as library name, object name, object type, object attribute, etc. -- depending on how you want to sort and search the data.

HTH,

Mark

Some time ago, Vern turned me on to using DSPOBJD to an outfile, to
generate a list of objects with their datestamps.

Only problem is that the important datestamps (creation and change) are
simple character fields in MMDDYY format, which makes any sorts on those
fields meaningless.

Anybody know of an easy way to deal with this?
