A drop-down list to specify the sort sequence used when NLSSORT is
associated with an alphabet-name in the ALPHABET clause. The values in
the Sort sequence list are used in conjunction with the Language identifier
value to determine which system-defined or user-defined sort sequence table
the program will use. The values in the Sort sequence list are
equivalent to the SRTSEQ parameter values of the CRTCBLPGM, CRTCBLMOD, and
CRTBNDCBL commands. The sort sequence must be specified if the library
field is not blank. You cannot give a library name and choose *CMDDFT
for sort sequence.
- *CMDDFT
- No parameter will be passed to the host and the host defined default will
be used.
- *HEX
- No sort sequence table will be used and the hexadecimal values of the
characters will be used to determine the sort sequence. This is the
default value.
- *JOB
- The sort sequence of the program will be resolved and associated with the
program at compile time. The sort sequence table must exist in the
system at compile time.
- *JOBRUN
- The sort sequence of the program will be resolved and associated with the
program at run time. At compile time, the compiler will associate the
sort sequence of the compile job with the program. At run time, this
sort sequence will be replaced by the sort sequence associated with the job at
run time. This value allows a program to be compiled once and used with
different sort sequences at run time.
- *LANGIDUNQ
- Specifies that the sort sequence table being used must contain a unique
weight for each character in the code page. The sort sequence table
used will be the unique weighted table identified by the Language identifier
value.
- *LANGIDSHR
- Specifies that the sort sequence table being used can contain the same
weight for multiple characters in the code page. The sort sequence
table used will be the shared weighted table identified by the Language
identifier value.
- sort-sequence-name
- Enter the name (SBCS characters only) of the sort sequence table to be
used. The table contains weights for all characters in a given code
page. A weight is associated with the character that is defined at the
code point.
