Is it possible to implement all types of SORT using COBOL?

[Allan]

Hi All,
I was reading data structures and the sort procedures in that excited me very much. So I planned to implement the procedures using COBOL program. But I have doubt whether it is possible to handle all sort using COBOL programs. Also let me know can I handle external sort using COBOL program. If so what are the functions that I can use to handle the same.

Regards,

Hi,
I am sure that there are some sorts which cannot be handled by COBOL program directly. But what sorts COBOL program could not handle is a question to me. Hope someone would help us in sorting out this problem.
