Not true regarding what you call major key. The keys do not need to be in left to right order, but the concept of primary (major) and secondary (minor) keys still applied.
SORT 1 5 A 11 15 D may give different results than SORT 11 15 D 1 5 A Don Imbriale -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chase, John Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2007 4:45 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Call for XEDIT freaks, submit ISPF requirements Actually, B D & F are ending columns, not length. I corrected myself in a later post. We could probably note that the "major" sort key need not precede the "minor" key, either. IOW, SORT C D A|D A B A|D (where A < B < C < D) also works. *********************************************************************** Bear Stearns is not responsible for any recommendation, solicitation, offer or agreement or any information about any transaction, customer account or account activity contained in this communication. *********************************************************************** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
