Commercialization of Christmas? Say it ain't so! Next thing you know
we'll be commercializing all the holidays, and making up new ones just
to give gifts! Most unheard of thing I've ever heard of.

subject: Sorting a program described file

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?

subject: Re: Sorting a program described file

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.

Booth,

Construct a LF over your S36 file. Create the fields you need in the LF,
and
then sort with those..

P.S. The term is brain-fart. Not that yours has been running flat for
years,
but.. :-)
