HP RPG/XL Utilities-Part 1 XSORT

Your MPE Commands Provide: 

 *  Name of the program--XSORT.PUB.SYS

 *  Name of the files you want to sort.  The formal designator for a
    single-file sort is XSORTIN. For multiple-file sorts, formal file
    designators are XSORTIN1 through XSORTIN9.

    If XSORT can open the file XSORTIN, it assumes you want to do a
    single-filesort.  If XSORTIN cannot be opened, XSORT assumes you want
    to do a multiple-filesort, starting with XSORTIN1.  (See "Use of the
    MPE RESET Command" below for a description of how to avoid problems
    that may occur when running a multiple-file sort after a single-file
    sort.)

 *  Name of your output file.  The formal designator is XSORTOUT.

 *  Name of the file containing specifications of the sort.  The formal
    designator is XSORTEXT, which defaults to $STDIN.
