1.6.4 Data forms that can be specified in each field

The fields include the key field used in the sort option and merge option, the record summation field used in the record summation option, selection field (compared field and comparing field) used in the record selection option and reconstruction field used in the record reconstruction options.

1.6.4.1 Data formats that can be specified in the key field

The following shows the data formats that can be specified in each key field and its length. In the table, typ is used when specifying in the PowerBSORT command line interface or OCX and definition value is used in the BSORT function.
