Hi,
I want to use the SORT verb in APS-COBOL program. For e.g:
SORT SORT-FILE
... ON ASCENDING KEY SORT-APPL-SEQ-NO
... INPUT PROCEDURE IS 2000-GENERATE-FILE-REQ
... OUTPUT PROCEDURE IS 5000-RETURN-SORTED-RECS
1. Is it mandatory that 2000-GENERATE-FILE-REQ and 5000-RETURN-SORTED-RECS should be SECTIONs?
2. Can I use this SORT statement inside a REPEAT loop?
3. Any other restrictions with the use of SORT verb?[/Search] |

1. Depends on the version of COBOL you are using.
2. Never tried it, sounds like a rather stupid idea.
3. Check the manual for your version of COBOL. |
