Example 3

SORT FROM(IN1) TO(FRANCE) USING(SRT1) LOCALE(FR_FR)
SORT FROM(IN1) TO(CANADA) USING(SRT1) LOCALE(FR_CA)
SORT FROM(IN1) TO(BELGIUM) USING(SRT1) LOCALE(FR_BE)

This example shows how sorted data for three different countries can be produced. Assume that the SRT1CNTL data set contains:

  SORT FIELDS=(5,20,CH,A,31,15,CH,A,1,4,FI,D,63,10,CH,D)

The first SORT operator sorts all records from the IN1 data set to the FRANCE data set, using the SORT statement in the SRT1CNTL data set. The character (CH) control fields are sorted according to the collating rules defined in locale FR_FR (French language for France).

The second SORT operator sorts all records from the IN1 data set to the CANADA data set, using the SORT statement in the SRT1CNTL data set. The character (CH) control fields are sorted according to the collating rules defined in locale FR_CA (French language for Canada).

The third SORT operator sorts all records from the IN1 data set to the BELGIUM data set, using the SORT statement in the SRT1CNTL data set. The character (CH) control fields are sorted according to the collating rules defined in locale FR_BE (French language for Belgium).
