My ISPF says SORT x y will sort using the data from column x to column y, not length y. Also, you can have multiple "keys", SORT a b c d will sort on columns a thru b then c thru d. You can also say SORT i j A l m D which will sort based on columns I thru j ASCENDING and then l thru m DESCENDING.

On the command line, C STRING ROPE ALL <Enter> will change every occurrence of STRING to ROPE in the currently-edited member. > Sort macro On the command line, SORT x y will sort the currently-edited or -viewed member using column x for a length of y as the sort key. It *might* be possible to specify multiple "keys" and/or reverse collating sequence, neither of which I've tried. -jc- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
