Can't you sort the data before you put it in the table?

I need to sort a table by one of its elements which should be easy enough.
There are no experienced COBOL programmers in this shop and my only book
example is non-iSeries. SEU is hanging up on my sort statement.
Here is what I have:
01 SL415-CB-Work-Table.
04 CB-Table-Ctr Pic 99 Value Zero.
04 CB-Work-Table-Entry
Occurs 50
Ascending Key Is CB-Past-Due
Indexed By CB-Index.
06 CB-Past-Due Pic X(3).
06 CB-SSN Pic X(9).
06 CB-Ln-Num Pic XX.
06 CB-Account-Status Pic XX.
The editor chokes on this:
Sort CB-Work-Table-Entry On Ascending Key CB-Index.
What to do? I'd buy an iSeries COBOL book but I'm outahere at the end of
the month. I could also do this in SQL if I knew how.
Thanks,
