The obvious answer being overlooked by everyone is Sort the list. If the disk has a small number of files (say, less than 1,000), just write a bubble sort and put the list in order yourself. If the number of files is large, then you might have to write a more complex sort to do it

Even if the perspective weren't new, it is good to see someone read the manual. I would think I had died and gone to heaven if 50% of the users did it. It would lighten the support load considerably. Regards, Richard Schuh -Original Message- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System
