Re: Sorting an array w/multiple fields

Isn't the difference that the first example sorted the whole array, but
Scott's example sorted field2 only?

>From Steve Jones' post:

Use the following example

D                              ds
D      Myarray                                                   15
dim(10)
D      Field1                                                         5
overlay(myarray:1)
D      Field2                                                         5s 0
overlay(myarray:6)
D      Field3                                                         5
overlay(myarray:11)

then use

C                          sorta                     Myarray

>From Scott Klement's post:

      D myArray                             dim(7)
      D   Field1                       5    overlay(myArray:*NEXT)
      D   Field2                       5s 0 overlay(myArray:*NEXT)
      D   Field3                       5    overlay(myArray:*NEXT)

      D x               s             10I 0

       /free

...
           sorta Field2;



Just curious myself.
