There appears to be a problem with the "SORT" function. Whenever I try to SORT ONTO , I get a "END OF FILE FOUND UNEXPECTEDLY" message. Not only that, but even after a CLEAR, I cannot erase the destination sorted file without incurring a FILE ALREADY OPEN message. When I try another CLEAR followed by a USE with the sorted destination file, I get a NO DATA BASE IN USE message. Can anyone shed any light on this? Is it me or my dBASEII? Is there a fix? Wolf Wiedemann RADC-MULTICS P.S. I have verified correct format of the source file I'm trying to sort. Every time I QUIT out of dBASEII and re-enter it, USEing the sorted destination file, all I ever see on a DISPLAY ALL is the first record of the source file, repeated ad infinitum. HELP!!
