The 65535 is your first problem - it should be changed immediately to the CCSID for your national language version. I almost think that if you changed this, your sort might already be fixed.

Second, Bruce was talking about LANGID - try DSPSYSVAL QLANGID to see what it is.

Bruce,

That order would be perfect.

But it's not changing anything for me. DSPSYSVAL QCCSID gives 65535.

Set your LANGID to FRA (to match I assume your CCSID of 297 given your codepoints) and sort sequence to *LANGIDUNQ. This will approximate the order you have in your list. I say approximate due to ê collating after é and è in my quick test. You could create your own table to sort in your desired order though (or find a more appropriate LANGID).

Here's what I see -

The first sort is done according to the actual hex value of the character in AZ
- notice that it is in order by the hex numeric value - numbers come before letters - the order is 0123456789ABCDEF.

Now the second sort is done according to the character representation of the hex value - so letters come before numbers, in the normal EBCDIC order. Letters before numbers.

In embedded SQL you can set the sort sequence - set option srtseq=*JOB or *HEX or *JOB or *JOBRUN or *LANGIDSHR or *LANGIDUNQ - you can even name a sort table.
This is an option you set at the top of the source code and applies to everything in a single code unit - so if you need both case-sensitive and case-insensitive options, you have to do it with
2 modules - a great case for ILE!!

Eh?

Hi,

With this request : SELECT AZ , hex( AZ ) FROM az ORDER BY AZ

I'm getting
AZ HEX ( AZ )
ê 52
à 7C
a 81
c 83
e 85
é C0
è D0
ç E0

If I use ORDER BY hex(AZ)
I get
AZ HEX ( AZ )
é C0
è D0
ç E0
ê 52
à 7C
a 81
c 83
e 85

Can anyone tell me how the sorting works?
Thanks
