If an inappropriate type of file is specified, it may cause an error.
Even if the type of file is different between the input file and the output file, the record format is the same in both the input and the output files.
When the input file is a text file with the EOF (End of File) code, the data after the EOF code is not processed. However, it can be specified that the data after the EOF code is processed in the bsortex command. Refer to the eof operand of input file information option (-input) for details.
When the EOF code exists in the input file, it is added at the end of the output file. However, the EOF code of the output file can be deleted in the bsortex command. Refer to the removeeof operand of output file information option (-output) for details.
When the EOF code does not exist in the input file, the EOF code will not be added at the end of the output file.
Even if there are two or more input files with the EOF code, only one EOF code is added per output file.
When the output file is a Btrieve file, an existing file cannot be overwritten. Specify a new file name.
