Re: how to sort a file in place?

If it is a work file with no key (like those created by OUTFILE) and there
is something that makes each row unique (like user profile in DSPUSRPRF )
you can simply add a key by
ADDPFCST FILE(WORKFILE) TYPE(*PRIKEY) KEY(UPUPRF)
and then you could
RGZPFM FILE(WORKFILE) KEYFILE(*FILE)

An alternative would be to add an index via sql or create a DDS logical
file and replace KEYFILE(*FILE) with KEYFILE(MyIndex or MyLogical).
