internal SORT causes changes in fields:


Hi,
When i'm trying to sort a file with Cobol internal SORT function I
have
the following problem:
My Records can have the same key, but last field in record has varying
length, and while sorting -the entry which has the longest value in it
is copied to other entries that has shorter values.

i.e:
Before sort I had: (the key here is: P100000000014125X)
P100000000014125X000026000000010100T3150
P100000000014125X000112000000030100P29091025
After sort:
P100000000014125X000112000000030100P29091025
P100000000014125X000026000000010100T31501025

there is a little setting: OPTION EQUALS on your sort, to get the
records in the same sequence the sort read it. Take a look on the
SYSOUT-listing.

You can provide it to your sort via DFSPARM (IBMSORT) or $ORTPARM
(SyncSort).
