Booth,

There is an OCL command to build what the S36EE calls an Alternate Index
.... it lets you define up to three fields by record position. Once this
is done, then you can read the alternate index file just like a regular
LF. The OCL command is BLDINDEX and you can prompt it from the command
line after you have issued a STRS36 to put your session into S36EE mode.

Hope this helps.

This may be a brain flat.

I have a Sys/36 environment program described file (QS36F) with no
index. I want to order the file for processing by field 1, field 3, and
field 2 (not contiguous, not in order). Until now it has been done with
a #gsort in OCL, and works fine.

I would like to not use OCL. Any ideas?
