Processing Code/Restore Processor, Releases: R83 2.2 and AP

Mask sequence function.

Description

used to alter the normal sort sequence of characters.

Used to sort an attribute in a sequence specified by the item called 'seq' in the 'messages' file (or 'errmsg' file in R83). This is only used on an attribute defined as a sort key, thus, this code must be applied as a correlative (attribute 8). Not available for use in Pick/BASIC.

The 'seq' item must be manually added to the 'messages' file using the following suggested format for the item:

seq (item-id)
001 !'#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABC
DEFGHIJKLMN OPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcde
fghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~
