#117 GCSORT 1.05.00 fails to parse command line

[David Declerck]

Hi @smenna,

Version 1.05.00 introduced a bug, making it impossible to parse instructions from the command line - we can only use TAKE files.

The fix is easy. In job.c around line 659 :

         if ((globalJob->nStatistics > 1) && (globalJob->nStatistics != 5) && (gcMultiThreadIsFirst == 0))
             fprintf(stdout, "%s\n", buffprt);
     }

+    else {
+        returnCode = 0;
+    }

     if (returnCode == 0) {
         job_SetCmdLine(job, buffer);

Best regards,

• David
