Google FMTDTA. The IBM specs pop up first.

Mostly because I haven't been able to find documentation for the source file
yet. I know it exists (or at least, it used to) I just don't know where IBM
has hidden it.

Hi, Rick:

Why not just use the FMTDTA command to sort the file into the desired
sequence _before_ you open it and attempt to process the data contained
therein...?

I am trying to sort a flat file based on positions in the record and

defined

lengths. Specifically, the output of a Unix list directory command piped

to an

output file. I found several examples of sorting subfiles but none

sorting flat

files. I did make some discoveries and have made tweaks based on what I
found but I still keep coming up with this error.

This is the relevant code (I think)
