Mostly because I haven't been able to find documentation for the source file yet. I know it exists (or at least, it used to) I just don't know where IBM has hidden it.

Hi, Rick:

Why not just use the FMTDTA command to sort the file into the desired
sequence _before_ you open it and attempt to process the data contained
therein...?

HTH,

I am trying to sort a flat file based on positions in the record and defined
lengths. Specifically, the output of a Unix list directory command piped to an
output file. I found several examples of sorting subfiles but none sorting flat
files. I did make some discoveries and have made tweaks based on what I
found but I still keep coming up with this error.

This is the relevant code (I think)
