Re: sorting an array




Mindy,

    SORTing an Array cannot be done unless you off-load the data. I like to
use a flat file. Dump your array into a file, then use the VMS SORT command
(or your system SORT function). Once SORTed, "READ" the data from the SORTed
flat file into an array. I find it much faster and much efficient. It is a
bit messy, but the rewards greatly exceed the costs.
