SORT-MERGE/XL arranges records corresponding to the sequence
shown in the system translation table. The translation table follows
the standard 128-character ASCII sequence, where each character
is represented internally by a numeric value from 0 to 127. For
example, the numeric value for F is 70 (decimal). The table lists
the characters in ascending order by numeric value. If the collating
sequence is altered with the >ALTSEQ command, those changes are reflected in the translation
table. Refer to the discussion about the >SHOW command in Chapter 6 for additional information
on translation tables.
