After defining the selection criteria for a report or mass load, you need to define the sort criteria for the report or mass load data.
On the Sort Sequence screen enter the dictionary items by which to sort the records. For each dictionary item, indicate whether to sort the records in ascending or descending sequence.
To enter sort criteria for standard record selection:
Log into the character-based system. This feature is not available in a Solar Eclipse interface.
With a report or mass load design displayed on the Report Writer/Mass Load Design screen, use the Select Build hot key to display the Report Writer/Mass Load Selection screen.
Use the Sort hot key to display the Sort Sequence screen.
For each dictionary item listed on the screen, in the Order column indicate whether to sort the records in ascending or descending sequence. If you leave this field blank, the default value is A.
A - Ascending
D - Descending
Press Esc to save this information and return to the Report Writer/Mass Load Selection screen.
Note: If you link to a dictionary item in another file, you can determine the file path from the current file to the target file using the Path hot key.
