SORT
optionally specifies a specified sort sequence. The following options are available:
VOL
indicates that the report is to be sorted by volume serial number (VOL is the
default)
LOC
indicates that the report is to be sorted by location.
USE
indicates that the report is to be sorted by selection count.
INS
indicates that the report is to be sorted by date and time the volume was inserted
into the control data set.
SEL
indicates that the report is to be sorted by date and time the volume was last
selected.
Multiple sort criteria may be specified. The order, from left to right, specifies the
order in which the report is to be sorted.
For example, SORT(INS,USE) produces a report sorted by date inserted in the
control data set, and then for each date, sorted by select count. SORT is mutually
exclusive with NOSORT.
Note: SORT is not available if Volume Report is running under SCP.
NOSORT
specifies that an unsorted report is to be produced. NOSORT is mutually exclusive
with SORT, ASCend, and DEScend.
Note: NOSORT is not available if Volume Report is running under SCP.
ASCend
optionally specifies that the report is to be sorted in ascending order. ASCend is the
default. This parameter is ignored if NOSORT is specified. ASCend is mutually
exclusive with NOSORT and DEScend.
Note: ASCend is not available if Volume Report is running under SCP.
DEScend
optionally specifies that the report is to be sorted in descending order. This parameter
is ignored if NOSORT is specified. DEScend is mutually exclusive with
NOSORT and ASCend.
Note: DEScend is not available if Volume Report is running under SCP.
