My tentative plan:
1. create a join file BBL to RCM using customer account, to get at customer name in RCM
2. modify BIL501-RPG and BIL501C-CL to substitute that join for BBLL99 input file
3. alter OPNQRYF in BIL501C to sort substitute cust name first, then customer account second, then all the other stuff which is already there
99. testing is going to be a bitch, risk of crash extremely high.

I've been out of BPCS for 9 months now and no longer have a Series i for reference so I'm not going to be exactly sure of a lot of things, but I'll give it a shot.

I wouldn't use the CNAME field for sorting, there's another field in the RCM that -is- used for sorting the name, I think it's CALPH or something similar. If it has upper and lower case, you can do one of two things, either have a pre-job (a simple SQL statement) sweep the file and convert that field to upper or you can put the %UPPER() function on it in OpnQryF.

As for the rest of your plan, I think that's pretty much what I'd do.
