SORT
Alters or displays the Transact/iX SORT option.
Syntax
SORT [ON ]
[OFF]
Parameters
ON Turns on the SORT flag to force the OUTPUT verb to sort
any records that are selected. This is the same as
issuing a SET(OPTION) SORT statement within the
Transact/iX source file.
OFF Turns off the SORT flag.
Discussion
This command allows you to change, programmatically, the SORT option to
force sorting of the data for the OUTPUT verb. If neither ON or OFF is
specified the current value of the SORT option is displayed, and you can
change it. The items in the LIST register are used for sort keys; the
precedence is set by the order they are listed. The primary key is the
item that was listed first, the secondary key is the item listed second,
and so on.
Example
The following example shows how to use the SORT command.
