Column 6 Line Type Your column 6 entry identifies the type of Record Type line you intend to use in your sort. An I in the column stands for an include or include-all line. An O stands for an omit line. Include lines identify the records you want the program to sort by describing particular record fields. If your sort requires the coding of Record Type lines, you must use at least one include or an include-all line to describe the records you want sorted. Even when you use omit lines, you will have to follow them with an include line. Records not described by your include lines will not be sorted. Omit lines identify records you do not want the program to sort. Omit lines are not required but they can be helpful when you have many types of records you want to use and just a few you want omitted. Omit lines must be followed by at least one include line or an include-all line. This ensures that the program will check all records not described by an omit line.
