I've never done this, but would it be possible to have the assembler
program do something to establish a REXX stem, invoke the PIPE command
with STEM as the last stage and then process the stem from the original
assembler program, letting CMS/REXX manage the storage?

Is this a R/W minidisk? Only for R/O minidisks CMS keeps the FST's sorted.
I would make the program call a REXX EXEC that in its turn executes a
PIPE that contains a LISTFILE and SORT stage. The PIPE could pass the
sorted list of files in the stack where your program retrieves them.
Or, more elegant, your assembler program allocates a buffer large
enough to store the result of the LISTFILE, prepares the PIPE command
with the LISTFILE and SORT, the last stage would be a STORAGE stage to
write the result in your program's buffer.

Hi folks,
I am wirting an assembler program using CMS callable services. My simple
program opens a Minidisk with DMSOPDIR with intent FILE and retrieves the
files stored there with DMSGETDF. I encountered that the entries are not
sorted by fn, ft, fm but are coming in a kind of random order.
I would like to know how how if there is a way to receive the files in a
sorted order?
Thank you very much in advance.
BR Fox.
