Yes, that is exactly my impression. I have not run exhaustive experiments but I
think that is it. Yes, for reasons related to other logic, this program
contains Index. = "" but Sri's and my previous successful use of BPXWUNIX sort
do not.

So... the difference between your code & Sri's is that you'd
initialised index. = "" whereas his didn't ha
Thank you! THAT is the clue I needed. I need to quote the stem names. Passing
plain Index. passes "", the value of Index., to sort.
Problem solved. Thanks all.

Maybe sort is aborting with a return code (RC, retval, etc.) and no message?

Thanks all. The mystery deepens.
Using the same stem variable should not be the problem. I have done that before
successfully, and the sort command documentation talks about how it uses a
temporary file to avoid clobbering the input data if the files are the same.

across all elements of the stem. If yours are variable length then the code
will need to be adjusted. Maybe in your case it would need to be comparing
subwords instead of substr.

You’re using the same stem variable for input and output. Use a specific
stdout. stem and see if that fixes it. Kolusu’s snippet works for me.

Thanks. As I said, I have tried both -k2 and -k 2, and also -k1 and +1, all
with the same result.

Charles,
Your example data
/* REXX */
stdin.0=3
stdin.1="0001 Main Check"
stdin.2="0002 OMVS (FTP Session)"
stdin.3="0003 C Validation"
cmd="sort -k 2"
call bpxwunix cmd,stdin.,stdout.,stderr.
say "stdout:"
say "==="
do i=1 to stdout.0
say stdout.i
end
say "stderr:"
say "==="
do i=1
Charles,
Try a space after k.
Something like this
/* REXX */
stdin.0=5
stdin.1="KIJJ 3"
stdin.2="KQWR 1"
stdin.3="ADGF 2"
stdin.4="OEPE 6"
stdin.5="VNVV 5"
cmd="sort -k 2"
call bpxwunix cmd,stdin.,stdout.,stderr.
say "stdout:"
say "==="
do i=1 to stdout.0
say stdout.i
end
say "stderr:"
I am trying to sort a Rexx "array" starting with the second "word" of the
variables. My "array" is in Index.n and contains records of the form where is 0001, 0002, 0003, etc. and string is 2 to 5
Rexx "words."
Here's my Rexx code:
Say "Before sort" Index.0 Index.1 Index.2 Index.3
stdo
12 matches
