Lizette I use these SORT control statements to achieve what you want.
* THIS CAUSES NUMBERS TO COLLATE BEFORE UPPERCASE LETTERS * GREAT FOR GETTING HEX NUMBERS IN CORRECT ORDER 0-9A-F ALTSEQ CODE=(F0B0,F1B1,F2B2,F3B3,F4B4,F5B5,F6B6,F7B7,F8B8,F9B9) SORT FIELDS=(1,4,AQ,A),SIZE=E2000 Alan -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lizette Koehler Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2008 10:31 To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Sorting Hex Data - ISPF or Batch I have gone through several iterations and just cannot see the forest for the trees. I need to sort hex data in ISPF and batch. I have tried a couple of variations but the x'A' - x'F' always go to the top of the sorted list. I really would like 0-9, x'A' - x'F' I have not found on the ISPF sort command a hex option for sorting. And I am not sure what control cards I can use in batch sort to make it happen. Any one willing to point me in the right direction? If not, I will write a sort process in REXX.
