PIPEs would be much easier.
"PIPE (endchar ?)",
"< input file x",
"| SORT positions",
"|> output file y"

Subject: Sort Fields Question
Hello List,
We have a CMS file, with some fields.
One of this field is a date, in the DD/MM/YY format.
We also have 200 records medium by day.
Another field, is a numeric percentage that I need get the top 50 for
each day.
So, We think execute a sort under a REXX EXEC , like this :
trace r
queue "1 8 63 65"
"sort cpux9 batchw a cpux9 batd a "
exit
But, looking on HELP of sort command can't see the descending option.
We think this, because after the sort, will write another REXX that read
only the first 50 records , and write another output file.
Someone already have used the sort with descending order, or know if
have another way to do this?
Thanks very much,
Sergio Lima Costa
