:>I have file in which first 1-4 bytes is character format, the file is comming from a different vendor and they have now changed to S9(09) COMP . We have SORT card that is using (1,4,CH,A), this now we are seeing a different order. Could some one please let us know how to get the same order what was existing earlier. One wonders how X(4) can be converted to S9(9) COMP. If the data was always BINARY (just not described as such) the same sort should work (unless some of the numbers were negative). But I would suggest that more has changed and that this is the tip of the iceberg. -- Binyamin Dissen <[email protected]> http://www.dissensoftware.com Director, Dissen Software, Bar & Grill - Israel Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me, you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.
