If you don't have to use variables for anything, I've been told CL commands will work in an OCL job stream "as is", IIRC...

Plus, I think you can usually call a S/36 RPG program straight from a CL program, can't you?

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?
