Hello,

Good start :)

The input in the code is 20 but the saample input data is longer?

When i code an internal sort, i identify the sort-key in a level-05 at the front of the sort record and the data to be sorted by the key in another level-05. Under each i name the individual fields.

I believe you want to release all of the records to the sort, there will be differences in the data portion.

The code initializes ws-sort-rec but this is not defined.

There's at least one typo that the compiler will catch if it isn't changed.

Suggest you make the small test copy of some data and have a go :)
Hope this helps,
d.sch.

Basically, yes. There is still some work to be done as the sort file does not contain all of the needed data definitions. Everything that is to be written into the outpout file has to be processed in the sort file.
Hope this helps,
