Examples

   1./FIELD=(NAME=AGENT,POSITION:20,SIZE:15)
     /CONDITION=(NAME=AGENCY,
                 TEST=(AGENT EQ "Real-T Trust"
                 OR
                 AGENT EQ "Realty Trust"))
        /DATA=(IF AGENCY THEN "Realty Trust" ELSE AGENT)

     In this example, two real estate files are being sorted. One
     file refers to an agency as Real-T Trust; the other refers
     to the same agency as Realty Trust. The /CONDITION and /DATA
     qualifiers instruct Sort to list the AGENT field in the sorted
     output file as Realty Trust.

   2./FIELD=(NAME=ZIP,POSITION:60,SIZE:6)
     /CONDITION=(NAME=LOCATION,
                 TEST=(ZIP EQ "01863"))
     /KEY=(IF LOCATION THEN 1
           ELSE 2)

     In this example, all the records with a zip code of 01863
     will appear at the beginning of the sorted output file. The
     conditional test is on the ZIP field, defined with the /FIELD
     qualifier; the condition is named LOCATION. The values 1 and
     2 in this /KEY qualifier signify a relative order for those
     records that satisfy the condition and those that do not.

   3./FIELD=(NAME=ZIP,POSITION:60,SIZE:6)
     /CONDITION=(NAME=LOCATION,
                 TEST=(ZIP EQ "01863"))
     /DATA=(IF LOCATION THEN "NORTH CHELMSFORD"
            ELSE "Outside district")

     In this example, the /CONDITION qualifier tests for the 01863
     zip code. The /DATA qualifier specifies that the name of town
     field will be added to the output record, depending on the test
     results.

   4./FIELD=(NAME=FFLOAT,POS:1,SIZ:0,F_FLOATING)
     /CONDITION=(NAME=CFFLOAT,TEST=(FFLOAT GE 100))
     /OMIT=(CONDITION=CFFLOAT)

     In this example, the number 100 is considered to be an
     F_FLOATING data type because field FFLOAT is defined as
     F_FLOATING in the /FIELD qualifier.
