Trying to read ISAM file via RM/COBOL [In Linux RedHat] and writes in output file. Detail Below :
# Start key is Alternate Record key = Non-Contiguous Split key. [ Can contain duplicates]
# Read Next.
Read Next is resulting in records in below order. [Prime Key is Numeric in file].
a. Prime Key 2
b. Prime Key 1
c. Prime Key 500 and so on..
Output file has records with same Alternate key.Records are not ordered on Prime key.
Questions :
a. How the records are ordered ? Are the records are ordered on Add/Update Date/Time in file or any other?
b. I want record to be ordered on Prime Key. Is this could be accomplished via changed in some Configuration setting ?
c. Is there any other document to refer other than Language/User reference for detail about Alternate Record key?
