Local fix
Problem summary
RDz LPEX with ISPF profile and sort command, when using multiple column parameters, gives incorrect results. The end column is non inclusive, unlike ISPF, and the line merging logic is wrong, including with bounds enabled.
Problem conclusion
The SORT command now interprets the end column correctly and merges/swaps lines as expected, including with bounds. The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with IBM Rational Developer for System z V9.1.1.4 Fix Pack which is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2294&uid=swg27006335
