COBOL_SET_SORT_PARAM_TEXT_

The COBOL_SET_SORT_PARAM_TEXT_ routine establishes alphanumeric

parameters in the option block (the local list of parameters that HP COBOL passes to

FastSort for the next sort or merge operation).

library-reference

is a mnemonic-name in the SPECIAL-NAMES paragraph. This mnemonic-name is

associated with the DLL containing an object copy of

COBOL_SET_SORT_PARAM_TEXT_.

sd-name

is the COBOL name of a file defined in an SD entry. The specification of the

remaining parameter is applied to any subsequent SORT or MERGE statements

that refer to this file name. If a subsequent call to a FastSort routine refers to the

same sd-name and to the same parameter, that call resets the specifications for

any subsequent SORT or MERGE statements that refer to the same file name.

Certain parameters can be reset to their default values, as indicated in the

discussion of the parameters below.
