SORT-MERGE/XL General Users Guide

:EOD 

The :EOD command is not truly a command.  It terminates the list of input
records to SORT/XL when * (for $STDIN) is the input file.

SYNTAX 

     >:EOD

The >:EOD (or :eod) command terminates the list of user input records
when the terminal ($STDIN[ X ] is the input and output device.  You input
data at the system generated question mark prompt (?), and issue the :EOD
command when you are done.  The records are sorted and then displayed on
the terminal screen.

EXAMPLE 

The following example shows how to use your terminal to input and then
receive a display of the sorted data:

        >INPUT *  
        >OUTPUT $STDLIST    
        >KEY 1, 4    
        >END    
        ?user input    
        ?user input    
        ?user input    
        ?:EOD
