Re: how to sort a file in place?

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Joel

You can do that with a QM query - and that is what the WebDocs command 
DOCSQL uses.

If you use that command and set the output to *OUTFILE, then set OUTFILE 
to the one you are sorting, it will replace that file with the result, 
in place.

Very cool!

Very dangerous!!

Backup - backup - backup!
