Specifying the sort sequence (SRTSEQ) parameter

 

The SRTSEQ parameter specifies the sort sequence for a database file.

The values of the SRTSEQ parameter, along with the values of the CCSID and LANGID parameters, determine which sort sequence table the file uses. You can specify:

• System-supplied sort sequence tables with unique or shared collating weights. There are sort sequence tables for each supported language.

• Any user-created sort sequence table.

• The hexadecimal value of the characters in the character set.

• The sort sequence of the current job or the one specified in the ALTSEQ parameter. The sort sequence table is stored with the file, except when the sort sequence is *HEX.
