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

Richard
You may still need to change the COBOL program
What totals does it provide, the new order is by Division & Date. What was the old order - and what totals - if any did the program provide
Not knowing everything about this program, current file and new file hampers how we can answer

Richard,

You can create a temporary LF by using the OPNQRYF command in CL just
before you call the Cobol program.  I've used this successfully.

Hi Alan,

I haven't done any COBOL on the i since 2004,. so you're right, I'm no longer an expert but am trying to get back up to speed. Not to be argumentative, but is a logical file really the best solution for a report? If not, what is?

Thanks much for taking the time to help me out.

All the best,

Richard Reeve

It sounds like you are not that conversant with COBOL In my opinion - create the logical No matter which way you go - there will probably be changes needed

This question would be more appropriate on the COBOL400-L list ( [8]https://mlists.org/cobol400-l).
