Hi,
I have to confess that i wasn't aware of dfsort's symnames.
What an elegant way to specify sort criteria!
"departement,A,birthday,D" is so much more readable than "7,3,PD,A,13,10,CH,D".
I was not able to find out, if there's a similar way to specify sort criteria in plisrta?
Thanks, br Johann

Wow, this works indeed.
Specify a SYMNAMES DD and use the symbols in code.

But fiddling around with it i found that i don't like the idea: the pgm
gets dependent on a completely separate dataset which i want to avoid in most cases.
Anyway, it was an interesting experiment,

Create the dataset in the program and dynnalloc the symnames dd before invoking the sort,
