sort file contents

[TUHINAROY <TUHINAROY@INF.COM>]

     Hi,

     I need to read a file and sort its contents based on one of the fields and
     print them. I dont think there's any command in SQR which would help me do
     this(like we have internal sort in Cobol). Can anyone tell me how it can be
     done?

     TIA
     Tuhina.

I vaguely recall that although 2.5.7 does not support USE-REPORT,
I thought that it did allow NEW-REPORT.  If not, the only work-around
that I can think of is to use OPEN and WRITE to format an output
file of your own.
