WHEN PASSED TO SORTINIT, THE TABLE ABOVE IS PRECEDED BY TWO BYTES.
THESE FIRST TWO BYTES CONTAIN A FLAG BYTE OF %000 AND A LENGTH BYTE OF
%377 RESPECTIVELY.
Columns are labeled 0, 1, 2, through 9, and rows are labelled 0, 1, 2, through 25. The table
is used by first reading down the leftmost column and then across from left to right. If you
want to know the current ordinal value of B (whose ASCII code decimal value is 66), read
down the table to locate the row labelled 6. Then read across until you reach the column
with the heading 6. The value (65) contained in this position (6,6) identifies the location of
the character B in the altered collating sequence.
Use the OFFLINE parameter to send the contents of the table to the line printer, disc, or
tape. In this case, the table is created in three forms. During programmatic usage of
SORT/XL or MERGE/XL, this information is edited and inserted into a program and then
copied into the >ALTSEQ array passed to SORT/XL or MERGE/XL.
ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION
None.
