I've got this little piece of code, that just collects some data from a file,
and it's supposed to print it in sorted order. It just doesn't, all cn. stem
values come out as the highest value in the nc. stem.

What am I doing wrong?

regina: REXX-Regina_3.9.3(MT) 5.00 5 Oct 2019 (64 bit). All rights reserved.

OS: W7-Pro 64.


/* REXX */
address system "type lift.dat" with output stem l.

naco = ''
nc. = ''
!nc = 0

do ! = 1 to l.0
if substr(l.!, 66, 1) = '!' |, -- 4125
left(l.!, 1) = '{' |, -- 3917
l.! = '' |, -- 3692
substr(l.!, 66, 1) = '#' then -- 428
iterate !

nat = left(strip(space(substr(l.!, 43, 4), 0), 'T', ','), 5, '.')
cnty = left(strip(space(substr(l.!, 54, 3), 0), 'T', ','), 5, '.')

if pos(nat, naco) = 0 then
do
naco = naco || nat
!nc = !nc + 1
nc.!nc = nat
end

if cnty \= '*....' &,
pos(cnty, naco) = 0 then
do
naco = naco || cnty
!nc = !nc + 1
nc.!nc = cnty
end
end

nc.0 = !nc

address path "sort.exe" with input stem nc. output stem cn.

do ! = 1 to !nc
say right(!, 3) cn.!nc
end

Stupid me, forget it, should have been "say right(!, 3) cn.!"

Apologies, mea maxima culpa.
