Re: sorting

Hi Angela,

On the AS400 you could simply create a logical file the ALTSEQ(QSYS/QASCII)
file-level keyword and all your key fields will be sorted as if they were
ASCII encoded.  Then your sales department can still use 0-9 or even
lowercase a-z in their sort field and it will sort the same as the SQL
server.
