RE: Change order (sort) print file in COBOL program

If you don't want to create a new logical then
use the standard Cobol SORT capabilities built
into the language.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Change order (sort) print file in COBOL program

I have been asked to change the order of a print file in a COBOL program.
The driving file is a logical file. What is the best practice for
accomplishing this? The goal is to sort by Division & Date. I don't want
to create another logical file. It's been I while since I've done any
COBOL programming so I'm a bit rusty.

Thanks for your help.

All the best,

Richard Reeve
