Re: Sorting DSPOBJD outfile by ascending date

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

You could reformat/resort the outfile with Query/400 and output to a 
second file for use by your program.  You could probably write an RPG 
program to do the same.

Is this part of a CL program or are you using something else to read 
through the file?
