Leif,

It looks like no one remembers the S/3 or S/34 and sort.  Sort was carried
over to the S/38 and still exists today.  I assume you have a large flat
file and you want to physically reorder the records based on values in
positions within the record.  If so, FMTDTA is your command.

Showing my age,
Stan

Subject: Sorting large file


Folks,

I have a sequential file of 10,000,000 80-character text records.
How do I sort the file the most efficiently?

Leif
