The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
I'm certainly no expert (and I may not necessarily be using correct
terminology), but in Unix (and DOS)
. is a relative reference that the OS uses for the current directory, and
.. is a relative reference that the OS uses for the parent of the current
directory
I would expect that readdir would always show these first when retrieving
the entries.

I did not see any way you can set the order
with a READDIR.
I also saw suggestions to read the directory
and manipulate the order manually in the RPG program.
BUT, I still wanted to post something because I have
never had this problem before and thought maybe
somebody can shed some light on it.
When I list the contents of my folder in windows or with WRKLNK,
it shows the entries in the correct order that I want to read them:
Opt Object link Type
. DIR
.. DIR
BK49_1 INDEX.pdf STMF
BK49_2 PG1-PG335_M > STMF
BK49_3 PG336-PG436 > STMF
But the READDIR process the . then the .. then BK49_3 ... then _2 then
_1.
