Hello world!
The current tally of non-working attempts to sort a file with two
keys are...
$ sort -b -k 1.42,42 -k 2.1,7 infile -o outfile
$ sort -b -k 1.42,42 -k 1.1,7 infile -o outfile
$ sort -b -k 1.42,1.42 -k 2.1,2.7 infile -o outfile
$ sort -b -k 1.42,42 infile | sort -b -k 1.1,7 > outfile
$ sort -b -k 1.42,42 infile | sort -b -k 1.1,7 -o outfile
I feel relieved that this was not as easy task as I thought, any
one with other suggestions please let me know. We are to the point
that we are ready to try anything; outside of moveing the file
back to our MVS machine and let it do the sort.
again thank you for your time.
