StorageTek 6 manual Volume Report, Sort

Volume Report

SORT

optionally specifies a specified sort sequence. The following options are available:

VOL

indicates that the report is to be sorted by volume serial number (VOL is the default)

LOC

indicates that the report is to be sorted by location.

USE

indicates that the report is to be sorted by selection count.

INS

indicates that the report is to be sorted by date and time the volume was inserted into the control data set.

SEL

indicates that the report is to be sorted by date and time the volume was last selected.

Multiple sort criteria may be specified. The order, from left to right, specifies the order in which the report is to be sorted.

For example, SORT(INS,USE) produces a report sorted by date inserted in the control data set, and then for each date, sorted by select count. SORT is mutually exclusive with NOSORT.

Note: SORT is not available if Volume Report is running under SCP.

NOSORT

specifies that an unsorted report is to be produced. NOSORT is mutually exclusive with SORT, ASCend, and DEScend.

Note: NOSORT is not available if Volume Report is running under SCP.

ASCend

optionally specifies that the report is to be sorted in ascending order. ASCend is the default. This parameter is ignored if NOSORT is specified. ASCend is mutually exclusive with NOSORT and DEScend.

Note: ASCend is not available if Volume Report is running under SCP.

DEScend

optionally specifies that the report is to be sorted in descending order. This parameter is ignored if NOSORT is specified. DEScend is mutually exclusive with

NOSORT and ASCend.

Note: DEScend is not available if Volume Report is running under SCP.
