'HEADING' COMMAND ( original posting ) ?
Is the 'HEADING' being specified in the 'SORT' command itself, eg :
SORT MEMBERS whatever HEADING whatever
or is the 'HEADING' to which you refer, the Basic 'HEADING' statement
within the Basic program itself ?, eg :
105 HEADING "bla"
102 EXECUTE COMMAND CAPTURING out
103 CRT out
Good to see you're still using 'ED' as your editor BTW [ Still the
Best Multivalue editor in my opinion ]
BTW Pats Tip of the Day
Rather than using :
var = var : whatever
var = var : bla
var = var : more_stuff_to_be_concatenated
The ':=' ( colon equals ) operator is available
Also the 'DQUOTE' function will put "Double Quotes" around the
specific elements of your variable
So the original code could then be written as :
094 COMMAND = \SORT MEMBERS \
095 COMMAND := DQUOTE(MEMBER)
096 COMMAND := " WITH OFFERING.DATE GE " :
DQUOTE(OCONV(THIS.DATE,'D2-'))
097 COMMAND := \ BY-EXP OFFERING.DATE GE \ : DQUOTE(THIS.DATE)
099 * COMMAND = COMMAND : \ AND LE "\ : LAST.DATE : \"\
100 COMMAND := " OFFERING.CODE OFFERING.DATE"
101 COMMAND := " BREAK-ON YEAR TOTAL OFFERING.AMOUNT"
But that's just my personal preference

Yep, jBASE had to continue the trend, in order to maintain
compatibility with the preceding Multivalue implements, glitches and
all ;-)

Serious, what me ?, never ;-)
