Hi !
Sort file
21
12
33
Sort 2 D results in
12
21
33
Found no Change in _Tabdata LTxtSort Method and _PCmdSORT.
Could it have to do with D Literal support added in 10.2 since no Problem in 10.1.9014 ?
Thanks

MUEH: Just tried your specific sample. Both A and D, sorting on either col 1 or 2 seem to work just fine (V10.2.19129)
??
Correct, there were no changes to SORT, and D-literal support only affects Find/Change, SORT has no interaction with any of that logic.

Sorry George !
Found that COLLATE EBCDIC was in 10.2 DEFAULT Profile .

Hi Robert !
It must have been my fault because some time ago i tested with COLLATE .
The data of file and result i entered are correct without a blank .

Yes, a D sort of EBCDIC data seems to get messed up. It has to be the way the Collate table is built and passed to the PB ARRAY SORT, in combination with how I Invert the key for D fields. (I just XOR each byte with X'FF')
Frankly this is getting a bit more brain-busting than I can manage. I'll put this on my To-Do list, way down at the bottom, where I'll get to it real soon.
If anyone else wants to work on it and figure it out, the source is all out there on the web site.

OK Robert, thanks. This kind of thing makes my head spin. I'll give it a try.

Robert: Tried it.  Still mucked up with COLLATE EBCDIC and Descending sort. George. |

I did the change to sInvert as you requested, so it no longer is doing the XOR style inversion. I assume you now want the sInvert to go back to XOR?

Robert: I doubt many of us understand just what's happening in there, so glad you managed to get it working.
