Re: Sorting an OVERLAY array.

["Wayne Achenbaum" <wache@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Aaron, If I understand you correctly, all you have todo is have a 8s
field ie TXSEQLIN starting at position 1. Then in your Rpgle do a SORTA
TXLINSEQ
Hence sorting a overlayed array is no different than any other  array being
sorted, but in an overlayed array all the other parts are sorted along with
it.
The one thing you can't do easily is Sort TXSEQ in ascending and TXLIN is
descending and vice versa.

Hopes this helps
