|
||
|
|
<div><p>When the TOKEY value is specified, the check made by the copy operation
|
||
|
|
is a logical character comparison between the key string for each record retrieved.
|
||
|
|
The key strings can be specified explicitly using the first TOKEY parameter
|
||
|
|
format or built implicitly by the copy operation that uses the list of values
|
||
|
|
that are given.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>A warning message is sent (but the copy operation continues) if this comparison
|
||
|
|
gives different results than the ordering in which the database identifies
|
||
|
|
the records in the keyed access path. The order might be different if:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>The key contains mixed ascending and descending fields</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The key contains fields for which a sort sequence other than *HEX is in
|
||
|
|
effect OR</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The key contains any of the following DDS keywords: <dl><dt class="dlterm">ABSVAL</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Absolute value</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">ALTSEQ</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Alternative collating sequence</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">ALWNULL</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Allow null</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">DATFMT</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Date format (*MDY, *DMY, *YMD, *JUL, SAA<sup>®</sup> *EUR, or SAA *USA)</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">DIGIT</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Digit force</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">SIGNED</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Signed numeric</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">TIMFMT</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Time format (*USA)</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">ZONE</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Zone force</dd>
|
||
|
|
</dl>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>If there are both ascending and descending fields in the file key, the
|
||
|
|
first (the far left) key field determines whether the copy operation uses
|
||
|
|
an ascending or descending key test to look for the last record to copy.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Using *BLDKEY is the easiest way to specify (and ensure correct padding)
|
||
|
|
values for packed, binary, and floating-point fields.</p>
