[Robelle-l] Warning: Not all sort fields were extracted

[Catherine Litten]

Just a quick little question on Suprtool - if you look at the following
piece of  code you will see that I am sorting on PAT-ACCT-NBR and SERV-DATE
and I am extracting both of these fields but Suprtool gives me "Warning:
Not all sort fields were extracted"  and "Sort information will not be
written to the output link-file" when I look at the subfile I am creating it
looks just fine and it is sorted just fine but I don't understand this
message, unless it means I have not extract all the fields I am selecting
this data on - what do you think?
