Hi All,
I am having a COBOL table and I want to use SORT command on it. That's mean I want to use an internal sort for this COBOL table. Is it possible?
For example :
| Code: |
01 WS-TABLE.
05 WS-TBL OCCURS 10 TIMES.
10 NAME PIC x(20).
10 AGE PIC 9(02).
|
Now I want to sort it using the SORT command. Can u pls help me out by sending some code-example?
Please help me out. |

There is no SORT command as such to sort a table.
SORT verb in COBOL supports sorting in a file.
For sorting a table you can see sample programs section on this site.
Good luck.  |

Yes, you can sort a internal table, but you will still need to define an SD.
Just release your table entries to the sort in the input procedure and recieve them back in the output procedure. |
