The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

From what I remember, you have to load the table in an ascending order
when you specify the Ascending keyword.
You cannot use SQL to do this, as this is a working storage variable.
Of course if the data is coming from a file into the variable, you can
use the Order By phrase to sort the file first.
For AS/400 reference, you may find this website handy:

One minor refinement to get to the COBOL .PDFs more directly:

And for Robert, AFAIK, the basic SEU problem is that the COBOL SORT
verb sorts files rather than values in variables. The above comment
that mentions loading the table seems on the mark. If the
non-iSeries COBOL book indicates that program variables
(tables/arrays) can be sorted with the SORT verb, then it would seem
to be a language extension from a particular compiler vendor.
That leads to a question of how the values got put into the
working-storage table. If the table wasn't loaded in sequence by
CB-Past-Due, then the problem should be examined at that point.
