NM callable only. Passes records, one at a time, to SORT/XL. Syntax | |
I32 CA I32V
HPSORTINPUT(status,buffer,length);
|
Parameters | |
- status
32-bit signed integer by reference (optional) Returns the status of the HPSORTINPUT call. If no errors
or warnings are encountered, status returns 32 bits of zero.
If errors or warnings are encountered, status is interpreted
as two 16-bit fields. Bits (0:16) comprise status.info. A negative value indicates
an error condition, and a positive value indicates a warning
condition. Refer to the MPE/iX Error Message Manual Volumes 1, 2 and 3 (32650-90066, 32650-90152, and 32650-90368) for a description of its value. Bits (16:16) comprise status.subsys. The value represented
by these bits defines the subsystem that set the status information.
The subsystem identifier for HPSORTINPUT is 195.
- buffer
character array (optional) Passes the next input record.
- length
32-bit signed integer by value (optional) Length of the buffer parameter in bytes.
This value should be long enough to contain all specified keys,
but not longer than the record size specified in the
reclength parameter of the HPSORTINIT intrinsic.
Operation Notes | |
Provides an alternative method for supplying input records to SORT/XL.
Use this intrinsic only if the inputfiles parameter in a call to
the HPSORTINIT intrinsic was not used. A call
to HPSORTINPUT follows a call to HPSORTINIT and precedes
calls to HPSORTOUTPUT and HPSORTEND. Related Information | |
