REORDER FIELD 

Reorders the field sequence in a manual master or detail data set.

Syntax 

     REO[RDER] F[IELD] DataSetName FieldName [ (NextField) ]

Parameters 

DataSetName         is the name of the data set which contains the field
                    to be reordered.

FieldName           is the name of the field to be reordered.  It must be
                    an existing field in the data set.

(NextField)         is the existing field that follows the newly
                    reordered field in the field list for the data set.
                    If this parameter is omitted, the reordered field is
                    placed last.

Description 

Use this command to reorder the field (data item) sequence in a manual
master or detail data set field list.  The field must already be an
existing field in the data set.  Use the NextField parameter to specify
where you want to place the reordered field.  If you want the reordered
field to appear in last place, omit the NextField parameter.

Example 

     >reorder field inventory unit-cost binnum 

This example reorders the field UNIT-COST in the INVENTORY data set.  The
field will appear directly before BINNUM in the field listing for the
data set.

Before the reorder, the schema entry for INVENTORY looks like this:

     NAME:     INVENTORY   ,D(12,14/13);
     ENTRY:    STOCK#       (PRODUCT      ),
               ONHANDQTY                   ,
               SUPPLIER   (!SUP-MASTER  ),
               UNIT-COST                   ,              <---- field to be reordered 
               LASTSHIPDATE ( DATE-MASTER ),
               BINNUM                      ;
     CAPACITY: 450(15);

After the reorder, the data set entry in the schema looks like this:

     NAME:     INVENTORY   ,D(12,14/13);
     ENTRY:    STOCK#       ( PRODUCT     ),
               ONHANDQTY                   ,
               SUPPLIER     (!SUP-MASTER  ),
               LASTSHIPDATE ( DATE-MASTER ),
               UNIT-COST                   ,              <---- field reordered 
               BINNUM                     ;
     CAPACITY: 450(15);
