Being a flat file, we cant be sure that it will have a unique key field. So, External to the cobol program , using SORT utility, we can add a serial no column, and then SORT it in descending order based on that column and read the file sequentially in COBOL program.

What is the difference between structured cobol programming and object alternativelyiented cobol programming?
Our issue is there seems to be a disconnect, or no link, between our SELECT statement and our SD. We had SELECT SORT-FILE and SELECT SORT-FILE ASSIGN TO SORTWRK. ASSIGN TO SORTWRK1 SORTWRK2 SORTWRK3 SORTWRK4. with SD SORT_FILE RECORD CONTAINS 7833 CHARACTERS. In either case, at run time, the system ignored our SORTWRK# DD statements and allocated 16 sort works with the SORTWK## naming convention. Any ideas why the system does not recognize the connection? We do not even need the SORTWRK DD statements. Thanks
