HP RPG/XL Utilities-Part 1 XSORT

Column 19 
Field or Constant 

XSORT identifies records you want to sort by comparing the factor 1 field
(specified in columns 9-16) with either a constant or another field in
the same record.  Column 19 tells the program whether it is a field or a
constant that you wish to use in the comparison.

 *  C means a constant will be used.

 *  F means a field will be used.

When you put a C in column 19, you use columns 20-80 for the constant.
When you put an F in column 19, you use columns 20-27 to identify the
location of the factor 2 field in the record.
