Re: QLGSORT and CPF3BD6 - Key field 01 is not valid for key number 1

Hi Rick,

I do not recommend the QLGSORT API, I hate that thing.

Is there any reason not to use the Unix sort utility?  You could just 
include it in the pipeline that's creating your listing in the first place.

(If I knew what your Unix command was, I could provide more specifics)

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.
