Application #3
This application is in three parts. Each part is a sample job typical of
the work XSORT was designed to address in the field. The jobs use the
same files in a variety of ways for different sort requirements.
Each of the three sample jobs included is presented with an introduction,
XSORT specifications entered on the form, and a discussion of the
specifications.
A breakdown of the files to be sorted and their contents precedes the
discussion.

Sample Sort 1
This sort is used to select cancelled order records from the Weekly
Bookings file. It produces a Weekly Cancellation Analysis. The
"cancellation indicator" (in position 40), which is equal to 1, provides
selection criteria.
Output records will contain only those fields required for the report.
The output file will be sequenced by Customer Number (CUSTNO) and
subsequently by Product Code (PRODCO).
Here are the specifications as they would appear at the terminal and on
the specification form.

Explanation of Specifications.
Header Specification.
Column 6 The H entry identifies this as the Header line.
Columns 7-12 SORTR identifies this as a Record-out sort.
Columns 13-17 Total length of the sort control fields for this sort is
20. The total is derived from adding CUSTNO (10
characters) and PRODCO (10 characters).
Column 18 The A means the output sequence will be in ascending
order by CUSTNO and PRODCO.
Columns 29-32 34 is the total length of output records. The control
fields are not being dropped in this sort so their total
(20 characters) is added to the 14 character sum derived
from adding the six data fields in the sort.
Record Type Specifications.
Column 6 The I identifies this an an include line. Input records
which match the criteria specified by this line will be
used in the sort. Those which fail to meet the criteria
will be omitted.
Column 7 The * indicates a comment line.
Column 8 Use only complete characters--one byte (eight bits)--in
making comparisons.
Columns 9-12 Because the input record field for factor 1 is only one
character long, this entry is left blank.
Columns 13-16 Input record position where factor 1 field begins and
ends is position 40.
Columns 17-18 EQ means factor 1 must equal factor 2.
Column 19 The C means factor 2 is a constant.
Column 20 This is where the value of the constant is entered. In
this instance, 1 is the factor 2 constant.
Field Description Specifications.
Column 6 The F identifies this as a field specification line.
Column 7 The N indicates that this is a normal control field.
The D's in the column define the data fields.
Column 8 The C tells the sort to use complete characters--1 byte
(8 bits).
Columns 9-12 3, 23, and the other numbers indicate record positions
where field start. They are the "from" positions.
Columns 13-16 These are the positions in the records where the fields
end. They are the "to" positions.
Here is the output of the sort.

Sample Sort 2
This sort produces a record address file for the selected records of the
Sales History File. Records are selected when they contain specific
combinations of Sales Territory (SLSTER) and Merchandise Line (MRCHLN).
The output of this sort is a record address file containing relative
record numbers for the selected records. The sequences will be Garment
Type Code and Merchandise Line within the garment type. A hex dump of
the output is followed by a simple RPG program which utilizes the output
in a meaningful report.
Two additional tasks are performed here:
1. It is desired to combine the Garment Type Codes 2 and 3 into a
single category for sorting purposes. Therefore, a "3" will be
substituted for a "2" wherever it is encountered in the Garment
Type code field. (This is a conditional force on the control
field.)
2. An opposite sort is performed on units booked (UNITSB) to put the
bookings in descending sequence within Merchandise Line.
Here are the specifications as they would appear at the terminal and on
the specification form.

Explanation of Specifications.
Header Specification.
Column 6 The H identifies this as the Header line.
Columns 7-12 SORTA identifies this as an Address-out sort.
Columns 13-17 10 is the largest sum of all control field lengths. It
is derived generally from adding all control fields
designated with an F, N, or 0 in column 7 for each
record type. This case is an exception because a forced
control field is being used. It will overlay the
position in the work record occupied by the character it
is forcing and, therefore, will not contribute to the
total control field length.
Columns 18 The A indicates that the sorted records will be in
ascending order by control fields.
Record Type Specifications.
Column 6 The I identifies this as an include line. The input
records matching the criteria specified by this line
will be used by the sort.
Column 7 Leaving this column blank indicates that this is the
first line of an I (include) set of record type lines.
The * means a comment line.
A identifies an AND line. It signifies that these
specifications continue the definitions of the record
type described in the last record type entry.
O entered here stands for OR. It means that these
specifications define a different type of record than
the one on the previous line.
Column 8 A "C" here means a character is used in comparisons.
Columns 9-12 The numbers 15 and 64, entered twice here, indicate the
position where the factor 1 field begins.
Columns 13-16 The numbers 16 and 65 entered here indicate where the
factor 1 field ends.
Columns 17-18 Factor 1 will be compared with factor 2, which is a
constant in all cases here. EQ means you want the two
factors to be equal.
Column 19 The C identifies factor 2 as a constant.
Columns 20-23 The entries 01, 05, 01, and 09 are two-character
constants. The zeros are entered here because the
control fields are all two characters long, and
constants must be the same size as control fields. (You
can leave the positions presently occupied by zeros
blank. It is important, however, to keep the entries
right justified.)
Field Description Specifications.
Column 6 The F identifies this as a field description line.
Column 7 The N identifies it as a normal control field.
O means opposite control field.
F indicates that one control field will be forced into
position. In this case it will overlay the position in
the work record occupied by the previous control
field--if the conditions of the force operations are
met.
Columns 9-12 The numbers entered in this column identify the starting
position of a control field in a record.
Columns 13-16 These numbers identify the end position of a control
field in a record. Note that 31, which is a field that
is only one position in length, is only entered once, at
the end position.
Column 17 The 2 is the character that must be in this control
field in order for a 3 (defined in column 18) to be
forced into the work record.
Column 18 The 3 is the character which will replace the control
field in the work record if the control field equals 2
(defined in column 17).
Since this is an Address-out sort, a hex dump of the output is provided.

Here is the output of the program. You will notice that the sequence
under the heading "GRMNT" (GARMENT) seems to start in descending rather
than ascending order. In fact, a 3 was substituted for each 2 when
encountered in the Garment Type code field, and sorting was done
according to these values.

Sample Sort 3
This sample sort utilizes the multiple input file feature of XSORT. It
combines the Weekly Bookings file and the Weekly Sales file.
The sequence of the combined output file will be by customer number.
Additionally, the Weekly Sales file is reformatted on output to the
sorted file in order to match the format of the Weekly Bookings file
records.
The file statements required for this sort are:
FILE XSORTIN1=WKBOOK
FILE XSORTIN2=WKSALE
FILE XSORTIN3=HISTUPD
Here are the specifications as they would appear at the terminal and on

Explanation of Specifications.
Header Specification.
Column 6 The H identifies this as the Header line.
Columns 7-12 SORT R identifies this as a Record-out sort.
Columns 13-17 10 is the largest total of control field lengths for
either of the two record sections in the sort. It is
the sum derived from adding together all the control
fields (fields with N, O, or F in column 7 of the Field
Description specifications). In this case, control
field length for the first record section is the same as
that for the second section since it represents the same
field, Customer Number. The field's location changes
due to differences in the record formats of the two
input files.
Column 18 The A indicates that the records in the sorted file will
be in ascending order by control field.
Column 28 The X entered will cause the control fields to be
dropped from the output records.
Columns 29-32 90 is the length of the output records in the Record-out
sort job. In this sort, control fields are being
dropped so the total reflects the largest total of data
fields for any single record section. If the control
fields were being included in the output file, their
largest total (from Header columns 13-17) would be added
to that of the data fields.
S Option.
Column 6 The S indicates that the S Option is being used. In
this case, it is required because of the multiple input
files.
Column 10-16 36 is the maximum number of records to be sorted.
Record Type Specifications (First Record Section).
Column 6 The I entry identifies this as an include line.
Column 7 Leaving this blank identifies this as the first line of
an include set.
Column 8 C means the full character--1 byte (8 bits)--will be
used in comparisons done for this sort.
Columns 9-12 1 is the position in the input record where the factor 1
field begins.
Columns 13-16 2 is the position in the input record where the factor 1
field ends.
Columns 17-18 EQ means that factor 1 must equal factor 2 in the
comparisons.
Column 19 The C identifies factor 2 as a constant rather than a
field.
Columns 20-39 WB is the factor 2 constant.
Field Description Specifications
(First Record Section).
Column 6 F indicates that this is a field description
specification.
Column 7 N identifies a normal control field.
D identifies a data field.
Column 8 C indicates that a full character--1 byte (8 bits)--will
be used.
Columns 9-12 3 is the input record position where the control field
begins. 1 is the input record position where the data
field begins.
Columns 13-16 12 is the input record position where the control field
ends. 50 is the input record position where the data
field ends.
Record Type Specifications
(Second Record Section).
Column 6 I indicates that this is an include line.
Column 7 Leaving this entry blank means that this is the first
line of an include set. The * means comments.
Column 8 C means the full character--1 byte (8 bits)--will be
used in the comparisons.
Columns 9-12 A 1 entered here indicates the position in the record
where the factor 1 field begins.
Columns 13-16 2 entered here indicates the position in the record
where the factor 1 field ends.
Columns 17-18 EQ means that, in the comparisons, factor 1 must equal
factor 2.
Column 19 The C indicates that factor 2 is a constant, not a
field.
Columns 20-27 WS is the factor 2 constant. Note that this is the same
length--2 characters--as the factor 1 field.
Field Description Specifications
(Second Record Section).
Column 6 F indicates that this is a field description line.
Column 7 N identifies this as a normal control field.
D identifies this as a data field.
Column 8 C entered here means the full character--1 byte (8
bits)--will be used in the comparisons.
Column 9-12 These entries identify the position in the input records
where control and data fields begin. Note that Customer
Number, which is used as a control field, is entered
here again as a data field. Since control fields are
being dropped from output records, they must be
redefined as data fields in order to be included as
output.
Columns 13-16 Numbers entered in these columns identify the positions
in the input records where the fields end.
