The high value may work, unless you decide to overlay two arrays, one

RE: Sort of a Data Structure Array... Idea






Rob,

One thing I've done is to make sure I always declare numerics as signed
instead of packed, then initialize the DS to *ALL'9'.  When filling the
array, keep a counter of total elements, then loop through the range to
process. 

Your post shows the main limitation that I've hit with this...  The max 
size
of the DS is 64K which is a little confining....

Do you really need 5000?
     D DispItems       DS                  Qualified
RNF0501E Length of character item DISPITEMS exceeds 65535; length defaults 

to 65535.
     D  DispItemsFld                       Dim(5000) like(Dummy)

And sorta does tend to leave the zeros, lodates, etc at the beginning of 
the array.

Any chance of changing sorta to only sort the first x elements?  Like:
setll *loval myfile;
dou %eof(myfile);
  read myfile tempds;
  select;
  When %eof(myfile);
    Leave;
  EndSl;
  x+=1;
  filefield(x)=tempds;
EndDo;
sorta fileds.myfield x;
