Update:  03-JUL-2020

We found a copy of the DLL and deployed it with the utility. At this point everything compiles, but we have an unrelated DW_1 Retrieval Error occurring (the discussion is in a separate thread).

Summary:
Does anyone know of a replacement for the s_1mains function from the OTSW32.DLL?


Details:
We'have had this utility for a long time, and when it runs from the PB v12.1 IDE, there are no issues.
The utility has been migrated to PB2019, a full build was done, and an EXE was created with no pdbs.

When run from the PB2019 IDE, it fails at the call to this external function.
The issue was corrected by placing the DLL in C:\Program Files (x86)\Appeon\PowerBuilder 19.0.
We have not yet tested the EXE for the utility with this build configuration.

is_sort_file_out            = <path & name of output file>

s_1mains (is_sort_file_in, is_sort_file_out, ls_ctl_stmt, il_sort_number_records, ii_sort_return_code)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

// otsw32.DLL
The function "s_1mains" apparently takes a file filled with data as above and does the following:

   1. opens the is_sort_file_in file
   2. will only include rows whose BillDate (bytes 7-12) <= '180501' AND whose ICC (bytes 46-49) = '0288'
       in the output file is_sort_file_out

   3. Sorts the data in the is_sort_file_out by the date
 
This function is lightning fast.


Thank You,
