Sort condition with valriable field length

[apjohn1986]

Hi,

I have a VB file which has data as below. here i need to sort file based on values before comma (values are not in fixed length). Is this possible in SORT? If so, can you please help with sample sortcard?

178975345,JOHN
18788879,ROBIN
37564785,WILLAIMS

Have a look at PARSE in your documentation, there are examples as well, also many here and elsewhere.
