Syntax
CA I16
SORTOUTPUT (record, length);
Parameters
- record
16-bit character array
Returns the next output record. The format of this record is specified in the outputoption parameter of the SORTINIT intrinsic.
- length
16-bit signed integer
Returns the length of the record parameter value. When no more records remain, the value of this parameter is set to -1.
Operation Notes
SORTOUTPUT signals the beginning of the SORT program and receives each output record from the SORT program into an array specified by the record parameter. SORTOUTPUT signals the end of the input process if SORTINPUT intrinsic is called. Use SORTOUTPUT only if the outputfiles parameter in a call to the SORTINIT intrinsic is not specified. If SORTINPUT is called, then SORTOUTPUT is called only after SORTINPUT has passed all records. A call to SORTOUTPUT always precedes a call to the SORTEND intrinsic.
 |
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. |
