thanks Paul,
the load and the sort works fine but
what should the %lookupGE command look like?

I don't think you want to use the overlay keywords as you are doing.
You are telling the compile that $SearchStrg overlays the array.

Try this:

d SearchArr ds Dim(5000) qualified
d $SearchStrg 16a
d $cust_id 9b 0

I have a 2d array, which contains a search key and option id:
d SearchArr ds Dim(5000) qualified
d $SearchStrg 16a overlay(SearchArr)
d $cust_id 9b 0 overlay(SearchArr:*NEXT)

I load up the array, then do:
Sorta SearchArr(*).$searchStrg ;

but the compiler is telling me I can't do:
foundElem = %lookupGE('A':SearchArr(*));
because "the Data structure Array SearchArr must be specified in the form
DS_ARRAY(*).KEY_SUBF"

so I try:

foundElem = %lookupGE('A':SearchArr(*).$SearchStrg);

and the compiler tells me "$SearchStrg is not an array"
