Not sure if I'm in the right list for this question but... is it possible to join two files by a Roll Number, then order the resultset by two different fields? Example: I have two files on the iSeries. One is a master, the other is a supplementary file that contains extra information. They are joined by a roll number (15 digit number assigned to a property). The master file has a name field and the supplementary file has a trade name field. Sometimes the name field contains the business name, sometimes the trade name field does. I want to get a result set that sorts the files where if the trade name field is populated to use that in the sort otherwise use the name field in the sort. So if we have the following files: Record1: Name="aaa" tradename="" Record2: Name="aac" tradename="" Record3: Name="aad" tradename="aab" So that they output in the following order: Record1 Record3 Record2 Thanks, Ron Power Programmer Information Services City Of St. John's, NL P.O.
