Columns 20-27 Factor 2 Field [ HP RPG/XL Utilities-Part 1 XSORT ] MPE/iX 5.0 Documentation


HP RPG/XL Utilities-Part 1 XSORT

Columns 20-27 
Factor 2 Field 

The factor 2 field must be the same length as the factor 1 field and in
the same record as the factor 1 field.

These columns identify the location of the factor 2 field.  Columns 20-23
(from) tell XSORT where the field starts.  Columns 24-27 (to) tell the
program where the field ends.

Coding Entries 

For readability, both "from" and "to" sections should be right-justified.
This is, the "from" entry should end in column 23, and the "to" entry
should end in column 27.

Sometimes fields are only a single character in length.  When there is
only one character, skip the 20-23 entry, leaving it blank.  Enter the
column number of the record position containing the character in columns
24-27.
