as in most Query for iSeries language sequences, each pair of uppercase and lowercase letters (such as
A
and
a
) sort together because they share a collating weight that is distinct from the weights of other
letters.
The language collating sequence is not saved in the query definition. If you save your query and it is used
on a system with a different language, the collating sequence for the other language is used. When you
need to save the language used for collating, use option 3 (Define the sequence) on the Select Collating
Sequence display and press F15.
Defining your own collating sequence in Query for iSeries
You may want to define your own collating sequence so that character data is sorted according to your
particular needs.
For example, you have a two-digit customer account number field that has gone beyond its maximum of
99
, and entries in this field after
99
are alphabetic—
A1
,
A2
, and so on. You want the alphabetic entries
sorted to follow the numeral entries. You can define your own collating sequence so that the alphabetic
data follows the numeric data for this particular query.
To define your own collating sequence, type a 3 in the Collating sequence option prompt on the Select
Collating Sequence display and press the Enter key.
Select Collating Sequence
The selected collating sequence will be used for character fields when
sorting, selecting records, joining files, finding minimum and maximum
values, and determining when a control break has occurred.
Type choices, press Enter.
