6.2.23.2 COLLATING SEQUENCE Phrase
This phrase specifies the collating sequence to be used in nonnumeric comparisons for the KEY data items in this merge operation.
>_Workstation_> Under AIX, OS/2, and Windows, the COLLATING SEQUENCE phrase is only valid when an ASCII code page is in effect. <_Workstation_<
- alphabet-name-1
-
Must be specified in the ALPHABET clause of the SPECIAL-NAMES
paragraph. Any one of the alphabet-name clause phrases can be
specified, with the following results:
- STANDARD-1
-
>_Host_> Under OS/390 and VM, the ASCII collating sequence is used
for all nonnumeric comparisons. (The ASCII collating sequence is
in Appendix B, "EBCDIC and ASCII Collating Sequences" in
topic APPENDIX1.2.) <_Host_<
>_Workstation_> Under AIX, OS/2, and Windows, the collating sequence is based on the character's hex value order. <_Workstation_< - STANDARD-2
-
>_Host_> Under OS/390 and VM, the International Reference Version
of the ISO 7-bit code defined in International Standard 646, 7-bit
Coded Character Set for Information Processing Interchange is used
for all nonnumeric comparisons. <_Host_<
>_Workstation_> Under AIX, OS/2, and Windows the collating sequence is based on the character's hex value order. <_Workstation_< - NATIVE
-
>_Host_> Under OS/390 and VM, the EBCDIC collating sequence is
used for all nonnumeric comparisons. (The EBCDIC collating
sequence is in Appendix B, "EBCDIC and ASCII Collating Sequences"
in topic APPENDIX1.2.) <_Host_<
>_Workstation_> Under AIX, OS/2, and Windows, the collating sequence indicated by the locale is selected. <_Workstation_< - EBCDIC
-
The EBCDIC collating sequence is used for all nonnumeric
comparisons. (The EBCDIC collating sequence is in Appendix B,
"EBCDIC and ASCII Collating Sequences" in topic APPENDIX1.2.)
- literal
-
The collating sequence established by the specification of
literals in the alphabet-name clause is used for all nonnumeric
comparisons.
- >_Host_> Under OS/390 and VM, the EBCDIC collating sequence is used.
(See Appendix B, "EBCDIC and ASCII Collating Sequences" in
topic APPENDIX1.2.) <_Host_<
- >_Workstation_> Under AIX, OS/2, and Windows, the COLLSEQ compiler option indicates the collating sequence used. If COLLSEQ(EBCDIC) is specified, the EBCDIC collating sequence is used. If COLLSEQ(NATIVE) is specified, the collating sequence as indicated by the locale is used. For more information on locale, see Appendix F, "Locale Considerations (Workstation Only)" in topic APPENDIX1.6. <_Workstation_<
