                 EDIT DESCRIPTIONS FOR SORT-10-V4C                              
  
  
                             EDIT 516    FOR SORT
  
  
  
  
[SYMPTOM]
  
SORT with edit 506 produces bad FORTRAN binary data files.
  
  
  
[DIAGNOSIS]
  
Edit 506 cleared unneeded flags fromt he flag mask MODEM  to
prevent  SCAN giving spurious error messages.  Unfortunately
it also cleared a flag that was still needed.
  
  
  
[CURE]
  
Modify the mask that is used to clear the flags to leave the
FORTRAN binary data flag on.

[SYMPTOM]

[DIAGNOSIS]
  
Edit 506 cleared unneeded flags from the flag mask MODEM  to

                             EDIT 520    FOR SORT
  
  
  
  
[SYMPTOM]
  
SORT will not allow an ersatz device to be /TEMP.   It  puts
the temporary files on the current default path area.
  
  
  
[DIAGNOSIS]
  
The routine GENSTR  changes  the  device  name  to  physical
structure  names,  but  no path information is kept, and the
files go onto the current area.
  
  
  
[CURE]
  
If the device is an  ersatz  device,  do  not  replace  with
structure names.

                             EDIT 521    FOR SORT
  
  
  
  
[SYMPTOM]
  
When a sorted file is merged with an unsorted file using the
/CHECK  switch,  SORT  does  not  print  out  the  file name
correctly in the sequence error messgae.
  
  
  
[DIAGNOSIS]
  
The file name index (FILNAM) instead of the pointer  to  the
file block (FILXBK) was used in the routine E$$MRS.
  
  
  
[CURE]
  
Edit 521 in routine E$$MRS to have the right pointer to  the
file block.
********************************************************************************
  
  
                             EDIT 522    FOR SORT
  
  

[SYMPTOM]

When edit 521 is made to the  source  module  SRTSTA.MAC  an
undefined  symbol  error  is  produced for the symbol FILJFN
when assembling SORT.

[DIAGNOSIS]

The file JFN is in the left half  of  the  location  FILPGN.
This is the symbol that should have been used.

[CURE]

Edit 522 replaces FILJFN with FILPGN in the  routine  E$$MRS
to access the file's JFN.
