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?

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

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
