Explanation of Specifications.
Header Specification.
Col 6 The H entry identifies this as the Header line.
Cols 7-12 SORTR identifies this as a Record-out sort.
Cols 13-17 Total length of the sort control fields for this sort is 20. The total is derived from adding
CUSTNO (10 characters) and PRODCO (10 characters).
Col 18 The A means the output sequence will be in ascending order by CUSTNO and PRODCO.
Cols 29-32 34 is the total length of output records. The control fields are not being dropped in this sort
so their total (20 characters) is added to the 14 character sum derived from adding the six
data fields in the sort.
