RE: [U2] [UV] Sorting after MERGE.LIST
It's a bit more involved, but typically when I'm facing a similar issue I'll write code to copy the sort fields to records in a work file so that I have all of the sort information from all n files in one place, then SSELECT that work file to get everything in order. It's a bit more involved this way, but it's portable and avoids issues like this. -Kevin [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.PrecisOnline.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 14, 2005 8:35 AM To: u2-Users Subject: [U2] [UV] Sorting after MERGE.LIST Greetings all, Does anyone know of a way to sort the results of a MERGE.LIST? My problem is that the results of the MERGE.LIST are from 3 separate files so I have nothing to select against. My first thought was to look at SELECTE but there are no options for that and no SSELECTE.

RE: [U2] [UV] Sorting after MERGE.LIST
If on *nix, SAVE.LIST then quit to *nix and use the OS sort on the SAVEDLIST record ? Could be difficult if it's a very big list which spans multiple records (or is that Unidata ?) but you can get round it hth Piers --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
RE: [U2] [UV] Sorting after MERGE.LIST
I thought the results of a MERGE.LIST were already sorted. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
RE: [U2] [UV] Sorting after MERGE.LIST
I believe in Unidata, using ED you could edit the list and then do $sort to sort it, or a similar command. I don't recall exactly the command. Thanks, Marilyn A.
