RESEQUENCE
Resequences a data element within an association established with the ADD
command.
Syntax
[option] RESEQUENCE subcommand
RES
Use the RESEQUENCE command to change a data element's position within an
entity's list of associations which was established by the ADD command.
A complete list of entities for which data elements can be resequenced is
given below under Subcommands.
The subcommand identifies the type of entity for which a resequencing is
to occur. For example, RESEQUENCE FILE changes the position of a data
element in the list of elements associated with that file.
The name of the element before which the resequenced element is to be
placed is entered in response to the NEW POSITION prompt. Pressing
[[RETURN]] in response to this prompt places the resequenced element at
the end of the association list for the entity. To see the current list
of associations and current positions, use the SHOW command.
Subcommands
Any of the following subcommands can be used with the RESEQUENCE command:
CATEGORY resequences a data element within a category
CLASS resequences a data element within a security
class
FILE resequences a data element within a file
GROUP resequences a data element within an HP Inform
group
PROCEDURE resequences a data element within a procedure
Example
>RESEQUENCE FILE

PRIMARY/SECONDARY(P/S)? < Indicates element is in the
Primary format.

NEW POSITION> Street-addr < New position is before
