Re: Sorting DSPOBJD outfile by ascending date

Hi, James:

You could just create a Logical File over that physical file, keyed by 
YY, MM, DD, followed by any other fields you want to consider as keys, 
such as library name, object name, object type, object attribute, etc. 
-- depending on how you want to sort and search the data.

HTH,

Mark
