Just to avoid the obvious question, you have tried using the LOCATE and
INSERT commands? If not this is an easy to use construct.
No, I have to admit that I haven't .. In order to use LOCATE, I have to
transpose my data:
REC1 = A]W]1]5]15
REC2 = B]X]2]6]25
REC3 = C]Y]3]7]100
REC4 = D]Z]4]8]11
Chuck,
I agree with Stuart - using a work file would speed things up.
Here's a quick code outline to help (I use UniData, and haven't
tried to run this, so YMMV):
OPEN MYFILE TO F.MYFILE ELSE STOP
OPEN WORKFILE TO F.WORK ELSE STOP
EXECUTE CLEARFILE DATA WORKFILE
READ REC FROM F.MYFILE,MYREC ELSE
GET.LIST MYLIST.OUT.

Try this for an easy sorted list assuming field 6 is the field to sort on:
0001: PA
0002: SELECT MYFILE SAVING EVAL @RECORD6:'|':@ID
0003: SAVE.LIST MYLIST
0004: SH -c 'sort SAVEDLISTS/MYLIST SAVEDLISTS

EXECUTE MERGE.LIST 0 UNION 0 TO 0

Do you need this for a unix platform? This would not qualify as a generic
BASIC merge/sort, but you could shell to the unix sort command for this sort

Chuck, if what you wanted was to look at the code to see how it's done this
won't help but.
AD for MERGE.LIST
I've used MERGE.LIST which is very effective. I've written programs which
sort and merge many subsets just by executing this utilities and then doing
the good ol' READLIST.
SELECT
EXECUTE MERGE.LIST 0 UNION 0 TO 0
will sort and de-dupe the current select list.
