Wow, thanks, that's got to be it. I did seem to feel there was a correlation with exiting from browse.
Yup Mark, if I do a point-and-shoot sort on RECS and then a RETRIEVE, I see SORT RECS A. Googling CSORT I find Mark with the same problem on April 10, 2012. I tried re-creating it intentionally and I couldn't. Tried putting the cursor at the screen position of a point-and-shoot field, but in a browse, and then exiting. Did not do it. Thanks. Mystery solved.

Here's what I found in IBMlink: The problem is with SDSF. The local fix is to issue SET CSORT OFF. CSORT stands for cursor-sensitive sorting. APAR PM59695 - PTF - UK77441 superceeded by UK79343 (neither ptf has been received) With CSORT enabled, browsing/selecting a job and doing PF3 out of the job may turn on or change the SORT setting on the primary panel, the job was selected from. In some cases, browsing a job and PF3ing when the cursor is not on the command line can cause unexpected sorts on the primary panel. IMPACT TO CUSTOMER: User Sort will be changed CAUSE OF ERROR: ------------------ ISFDSP does not know the difference between an enter and an end from secondary panels. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
