PSORT= column within person label for alphabetical sort in Table 19 = 1 |
Table 19 lists persons alphabetically. Table 1 and Table 16 list them alphabetically within lines. Ordinarily, the whole person name is used. Select the sorting columns in the person labels using the column selection rules, e.g., starting in column Snn and ending in column Enn or of width Wnn.
Example 1: The person name is entered in the data file starting in column 20. It is a 6-digit student number followed by a blank and then gender identification in column 8 of the person name. Sort by gender identification for Table 19, then by student number.
NAME1=20
NAMLEN=8 ; student number + gender
PSORT=$S8W1+$S8W6 alphabetical sort on gender
