Thank you for your thoughts, gentlemen.
This is what I wrote before the suggestions reached me:


WRITELIST XL.NEW.LIST ON X.SAVEDLIST

EXECUTE X.SORT.SAVEDLIST

GETLIST X.SAVEDLIST TO 1 THEN
  READLIST XL.SORTED.DATES FROM 1 ELSE
    XL.SORTED.DATES = ""
  END
  CLEARSELECT 1
END

SWAP @AM WITH @VM IN XL.SORTED.DATES

DELETELIST X.SAVEDLIST


But I'll change it if it's much less efficient.  What do ya think?

I have records that contains a mv list of dates, i.e.,
13200:@VM:13312:@VM:13176.  I need to store these values in ascending
order, so I: a) convert the VMs to AMs, b) perform a FORMLIST,
SAVE.LIST, SORT.LIST; and c) load the values back into the attribute.
There has to be a more efficient way.  Any suggestions?
