Table 96 Relationship Between param-id, subsort-number, and param-text (continued)
param-textsubsort-numberparam-id
If the value of the data item is “0” (ASCII zero), that processor will
not be used. If the value is “1,” that processor is a candidate for use.
Any other value is an error.
NO-CPU-MASK overrides CPU-MASK.
File system name of file to be used by sort as a scratch file. If only a
volume name is specified, FastSort assigns a scratch file on that
SCRATCH-FILE
volume; otherwise, a legal file name must be specified. ASSIGN
commands that specify that file name are ignored.
File in the ASSIGN clause for the SD used is used.Unspecified or 0
Scratch file is assigned on $SYSTEM for that subsort.Greater than 0
File-system file name of the file that contains the SORTPROG program.
If SORTPROG is not specified or is specified with a value of all spaces,
FastSort uses $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.SORTPROG.
Unspecified or 0SORT-PROGRAM
File-system file name of the file to be used for the extended memory
swap file (must be on the local system).
SWAP-FILE
If the name is all spaces (the default value) or is not specified, the
swap file is created on the same volume as the scratch file.
If the scratch file is not local, the swap file is assigned on $SYSTEM.
If param-id is omitted (param-text and subsort-number must
also be omitted in this case), all values and text previously set for
sd-name will be reset to their default values. This option releases the
option block (about 700 characters long), so you might want to use
it if the SD will not be referenced again in this program.
If subsort-number is not specified or is 0, the scratch file for the
distributor/collector is implied.If SUBSORT-COUNT is 0, the swap
file for the normal sort process in assigned.
Unspecified or 0
If SUBSORT-COUNT is greater than 0, the subsort-number indicates
the subsort to which the swap file applies.
Greater than 0
COBOL_SET_SORT_PARAM_VALUE_
The COBOL_SET_SORT_PARAM_VALUE_ routine establishes numeric parameters in the option
block. These parameters affect any subsequent SORT statement execution.
