MODIFYING KSAM FILES Every record added or updated in a KSAM file has its new keys of type BYTE inserted in the key file according to the collating sequence of the language defined for that KSAM file. That function is handled internally by a system version of the NLCOLLATE intrinsic when the language attribute ofthe file is different from NATIVE-3000. A new key in a file with a NATIVE-3000 language attribute will be ordered according to the result of a BYTE COMPARE between the key of the new record and the keys of the records already in the key file.
