RE: Sorting a Multi-occurrence data structure

SORTA is definitely out as I'm using a BASED multi-occurrence data
structure.  Use of the %SORTA built in function is, unfortunately, also out
since we are on V4R1.

Is a different structure out of the question?  I've had great results with
Datastructure Arrays.
     D                 DS
     D $RptFilter                          Dim(20) Ascend
     D  $FiltVar                      5A   Overlay($RptFilter:1)
     D  $FiltCnd                      2A   Overlay($RptFilter:*Next)
     D  $FiltVal                     25A   Overlay($RptFilter:*Next)

Once data is loaded, you can sort on any subfield...

     C                   SortA     $FiltCnd
sorts the datastructure into ascending order by the $FiltCnd subfield.

I prefer this to MODS most of the time now.
