NM and CM callable.

Provides an alternative method of specifying how records are supplied to the SORT program.

Syntax

             CA   I16V

   SORTINPUT(record,length);

Parameters

record

16-bit character array

Passes the next input data record.

length

16-bit signed integer

Passes the length of the record parameter value. This value should be long enough to contain all specified keys, but not longer than the record size specified in the reclen parameter of the SORTINIT intrinsic.

Operation Notes

Use this intrinsic only if the inputfiles parameter in a call to the SORTINIT intrinsic was not used. SORTINPUT passes the input records, one at a time, to the SORT program. A call to SORTINPUT follows a call to SORTINIT and precedes all calls to the SORTOUTPUT and SORTEND intrinsics.

NOTE: If you are coding a CM application, you must call SORTEND in the same routine in which you call the SORTINIT intrinsic. This is not the case when you code an NM application.

Condition Codes

CCE (2)

Request granted. No error occurred during the SORT program.

CCG (0)

Not returned.

CCL (1)

Request denied. An error occurred during the SORT program.
