SORTARR

Sorts an array.

SORTARR
Arr  (Array Name)

Parameters

Arr

Required. Contains the name of an array to be sorted. The array is sorted in ascending or descending order, depending on the sequence specified for the array in the extension specifications. The default is ascending order.

Remarks

In a SORTARR operation, array *IN cannot be designated in Arr .

Sorting an array does not maintain the previous order.

Example

/* The **SORTARR**  operation sorts MyArray into descending sequence because the array is defined 
   as descending. If the unsorted MyArray contents were ASNARPGZ, the sorted MyArray contents would be ZSRPNGAA. */

DCLARRAY Name(MyArray) dim(8) Len(1) Seq(*Descend)
SORTARR MyArray
