1./FIELD=(NAME=SALARY,POSITION:10,DIGITS:8,DECIMAL) /KEY=(SALARY,DESCENDING) This /KEY qualifier specifies that the key field is SALARY and that the sorting order is descending. 2./FIELD=(NAME=ZIP,POSITION:20,SIZE:6) /CONDITION=(NAME=LOCATION, TEST=(ZIP EQ "01863")) /KEY=(IF LOCATION THEN 1 ELSE 2) In this example, all the records with the zip code 01863 are to appear at the beginning of the sorted output file. The conditional test LOCATION (defined in a /CONDITION qualifier) is on the ZIP field (named in a /FIELD clause). The values of 1 and 2 in this /KEY clause signify a relative order for those records that satisfy the condition and those that do not.
