Re: RexxUtil function SysStemSort in Macro -- CODE400-L

Hello:

I've come to the conclusion that the on-line documentation does not match
the version of REXX shipped with Code/400.

I did a scan of the RexxUtil.dll and it looks like the following functions
listed in the documentation may not be supported:

RxMessageBox
SysDumpVariables
SysGetFileDateTime
SysQueryProcess
SysSetFileDateTime
SysStemCopy
SysStemDelete
SysStemInsert
SysStemSort
SysVersion

Would have been nice to have the Dump Variables function....

While searching for a solution, I came across a series of web articles that
talk about different algorithms for sorting.

I'm sure that of these methods will do exactly what I need.....

Bubble Sort / Insertion Sort
http://www.os2ezine.com/v2n12/rexx.htm

Heap Sort
http://www.os2ezine.com/v3n01/rexx.htm

Sort stem variable without loosing tails
http://www.os2ezine.com/v3n17/rexx.htm

This online magazine has some other REXX articles that I'll have to check
out.

John
