ALTSEQ = (ccpp1,…,ccppnn)The ALTSEQ option modifies the standard EBCDIC collating sequence for control fields labeled with an AQ format code. Note that the installation modifications will be overridden at execution time if an ALTSEQ control statement is supplied.
The coding format of the installation option is similar to that of the control statement. See the Syncsort™ MFX Programmers Guide for additional details.
cc is the hexadecimal representation of the character to be repositioned in the alternate sequence. pp shows the new position in the EBCDIC sequence for the character represented by cc. Up to 50 ccpp combinations may be specified with the IEV90 assembler or up to 204 ccpp combinations with ASMA90.
The default is the standard EBCDIC collating sequence.
