I also need to exclude sub directories. That's part of the reason I was looking at FMTDTA. Would the Unix sort allow for record selection?

I've given up on QLGSORT and replaced it with an SQL statement.

Hi Rick,

I do not recommend the QLGSORT API, I hate that thing.

Is there any reason not to use the Unix sort utility? You could just include it
in the pipeline that's creating your listing in the first place.

(If I knew what your Unix command was, I could provide more specifics)

I am trying to sort a flat file based on positions in the record and defined
lengths. Specifically, the output of a Unix list directory command piped to an
output file. I found several examples of sorting subfiles but none sorting flat
files. I did make some discoveries and have made tweaks based on what I
found but I still keep coming up with this error.

This is the relevant code (I think)
