Page Selection criteria

The page selection criteria should only be used if the same spool entry contains more than one page layout.

This could be the case if a spool entry contains invoices and credit notes, and the customer ID, intended for use as sort field, is placed in different line/column positions on the invoices than on the credit notes. In this case you should create two Sort Definition Details, where one compare with the text INVOICE and the other with CREDIT NOTE, and each has its own specification for the customer ID sort field.

If some of the invoices consisted of several pages of which only the first page indicate INVOICE, the successive pages will automatically follow the first page of the invoice. That means pages which are not recognized by any Page Selection criteria will in the final sort automatically succeed the last recognized page.

Print Line:	The print line in the spool entry to search.
Position:	The column interval to search
Oper.	The boolean operator relating to the compare value.
	The operators used are standard operators known from e.g.
	Query/400:
	EQ	Equal to compare value
	NE	Not equal to compare value
	LT	Less than compare value
	LE	Less than or equal to compare value
	GT	Greater than compare value
	GE	Greater than or equal to compare value
Compare value:	The character string or numeric value which the operator should
	compare with. The comparison is in reality done on hexadecimal
	values. This means that e.g. the figure 1 which has EBCDIC value
	F1h is greater than the character Z which has EBCDIC value E9h.

Find sort fields in the following positions

The Sort fields indicate the detail level of the sort process. Pages will be sorted in the same order as the sort fields. Sort field no.1 is the most significant for the sort.
