COBOL_SET_SORT_PARAM_VALUE_
param-id
is an alphanumeric data item whose contents identify the parameter whose value is
to be set. The values param-id might contain are:
Any letter in the value can be either uppercase or lowercase.
If param-id, param-value, and subsort-or-file-number are all omitted,
the run-time routines reset all values and texts previously set for sd-name to their
default values. This option releases the option block (about 700 characters long),
so you may wish to use it if the SD will not be referenced again in this program.
param-value
is a numeric operand whose value gives the value to be used for the parameter
specified by param-id. If this parameter is omitted, any value previously set for
this value of param-id will be reset to its default value.
In the case where a value may be zero or nonzero, the nonzero value must be
greater than -2,147,483,648 and less than 2,147,483,648. If it is outside this range,
an arithmetic overflow will result when the ENTER statement executes.
The value of param-value depends on the value of param-id. See Usage
Considerations:.
subsort-or-file-number
is a numeric operand whose value is the sort process to which the parameter
pertains or, if the parameter applies to a file, it is a file ordinal.
If a subsort-number is being supplied, the number of subsorts must have been
set previously (with the SUBSORT-COUNT parameter) and subsort-number
must be in the range 1 to that number. Subsort-number must be 0 if the parameter
applies to the distributor/collector process or if the number of subsorts has been
set to zero (a normal sort is implied). In the latter case, the parameter applies to
the normal sort.
