What DO you have so that someone might offer a suggestion?

Do you want jobs in sequence by END-TIME? Latest at the bottom?

How did you do this? What screen was used to input your command? What was the exact command you entered?

To show us the screen, use copy, paste, and the "Code" tag - do not use a "screenshot" those are deleted. Use Preview to see your post as it will appear to the forum (rather than what you see in the Reply Editor) and Submit when you are satisfied with the appearance of your post. If you simply copy/paste/"Code", no editing is needed. Code preserves alignment.

Not sure. If you are into ISPF... those commands work.

Thanks,

Posting "it didn't work" is just a waste of time. . .

What happened? An abend? An error? Some strange message? Nothing?

Hello,

After you issue the command, press F1 to see if there is any help available.

You may need to talk with the system support people and/or security admins to see if you have permissions to use all of the commands available. Many systems restrict these commands.

I just re-read your topic and see that "i don't have SDSF." Please explain what tool or product you use to see the spooled info.

i don't have SDSF.

I, too, have a couple of questions:
When you typed "SORT ?" did you receive that panel?
Code:
                         Sort         Row 1 to 11 of 43
 Command ===>                                           
                                                       
 Type 1 or 2 column names and A or D for ascending or   
 descending order.  Columns are listed below.           
                                                       
 Major Column  _________  Order _ (A or D)     
 Minor Column  _________  Order _ (A or D)     
                                                       

And, most important, do you mind answering any of the questions that have been posted on this thread ?

Not even a small error message on top right of the screen ?
Something like "SORT COLUMN NOT FOUND" ??

And now I see that the thread was opened by jitu852 but continued by anandinmainframe
Was jitu852's problem solved ?
Do jitu852 and anandinmainframe have the same problem ?
Do they work on the same place ?
Why am I asking so many questions ?
