Re: QLGSORT and CPF3BD6 - Key field 01 is not valid for key number 1

Hi Rick,

I do not recommend the QLGSORT API, I hate that thing.

Is there any reason not to use the Unix sort utility? You could just include it in the pipeline that's creating your listing in the first place.

(If I knew what your Unix command was, I could provide more specifics)

I have been banging my head against this message for a couple of hours now without any success.

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) http://code.midrange.com/84149fae5e.html
