Patrons: making double last-names sort after single last-names

Description:
In /exlibris/aleph/u20_1/alephe/unicode/tab_character_conversion_line, I changed
BORROWER_NAME_KEY ##### # line_utf2line_utf adm_name_key_ana
I copied /exlibris/aleph/u20_1/alephe/unicode/adm_name_key to /exlibris/aleph/u20_1/alephe/unicode/adm_name_key_ana and changed the translation of the hyphen-minus from 0020 to 002D in order to sort the hyphenated last names after the non-hyphenated last names. Then I ran p_manage_64 to recreate the z303_name_key and p_cir_25 to rebuild the patron index. It worked well.
Now I am trying to sort the double last names after the single last names. This is more problematic because there is a blank between the 2 last names. So, I thought I would change the value of the comma from 0000 to 002C. I even looked at how it would be normalized with util f/1/3

But when I run p_manage_64 and look at the z303_name_key, the commas are not there. No matter what value I enter to the translation of the comma it gets compressed.
Any suggestions on how we can get the double last names to sort after the single last names?

Resolution:
The BUILD-NAME-KEY section of the io_z303 program has the following lines preceding the call to "filing" (which reads tab_filing):
INSPECT EDIT-BUF REPLACING ALL "." BY " ".
INSPECT EDIT-BUF REPLACING ALL "," BY " ".
