Try this for an easy sorted list assuming field 6 is the field to sort on: 0001: PA 0002: SELECT MYFILE SAVING EVAL "@RECORD<6>:'|':@ID" 0003: SAVE.LIST MYLIST 0004: SH -c 'sort "&SAVEDLISTS&"/MYLIST > "&SAVEDLISTS&"/MYLIST.OUT'
You can then do a REANEXT and FIELD the key in a program after executing "GET.LIST MYLIST.OUT". ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chuck Mongiovi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2004 8:28 AM Subject: RE: [U2] merge sort > > Just to avoid the obvious question, you have tried using the LOCATE and > > INSERT commands?
