Hi all,

Can we use TF (text flow) in the sort utilities for uotput file. IF yes, give me an example.

Thank you,
Lenny

ldushkin,

What exactly is a text flow? Show us a example of what you are trying to achieve.

You are using the ISPF editor which has nothing to do with SORT. You can run the editor in batch and use the TFLOW verb in an edit macro. See the ISPF FAQ topics for more information about that.
