SORTINPUT
NM and CM callable.
Provides an alternative method of specifying how records are supplied to
the SORT program.
Syntax
_____________________________________
| |
| CA I16V |
| SORTINPUT(record,length); |
_____________________________________
Parameters
record 16-bit character array
Passes the next input data record.
length 16-bit signed integer
Passes the length of the record parameter value.
This value should be long enough to contain all
specified keys, but not longer than the record size
specified in the reclen parameter of the SORTINIT
intrinsic.
Operation Notes
Use this intrinsic only if the inputfiles parameter in a call to the
SORTINIT intrinsic was not used. SORTINPUT passes the input records, one
at a time, to the SORT program. A call to SORTINPUT follows a call to
SORTINIT and precedes all calls to the SORTOUTPUT and SORTEND intrinsics.
NOTE If you are coding a CM application, you must call SORTEND in the
same routine in which you call the SORTINIT intrinsic. This is not
the case when you code an NM application.
Condition Codes
CCE (2) Request granted. No error occurred during the SORT
program.
CCG (0) Not returned.
CCL (1) Request denied. An error occurred during the SORT
program.
