-
SORTSUMF
-
specifies that the host sort utility supports
the SUM FIELDS=NONE control card.
-
NOSORTSUMF
-
specifies that the host sort utility does
not support the SUM FIELDS=NONE control card. If NOSORTSUMF is in effect
and the NODUPKEY option was specified when PROC SORT was invoked, then records
that have duplicate keys are eliminated.
If the NODUPKEY procedure option is specified
when the SORT procedure is invoked, the SORTSUMF system option can be used
to specify whether the host sort utility supports the SUM FIELDS=NONE statement.
Note that duplicate keys are not the same as duplicate
records. Duplicate keys can be eliminated with the NODUPKEY option, whereas
duplicate records can be eliminated with the NODUP option in the PROC SORT
statement.
For information about specifying the appropriate setting for the SORTSUMF
option, see the documentation for your sort utility.
