I am having a problem with sorting. I have an 80 character document, 35,000 records, and want to sort on 11 characters beginning in column 16. The field in question has only two values. The program just goes off to never never land and has to be terminated.

I seem to be able to sort on any other columns.

I can sort if the width is less than 3 but 4 thru 11 locks up the program.

I can also sort if I extend to width from 11 characters to 45 characters to cover another field

It makes no sense to me?

Any ideas?
