PLBWEB_VDATALIST

PLBWEB_VDATALIST_SORT Keyword

9.9B

PLBWEB_VDATALIST_SORT={on | off }

This keyword forces the SORTED property of a PWS DATALIST to enforce specialize Windows OS sorting linguistic rules.

Note the following:

1. The PLBWEB_VDATALIST_SORT keyword is not used if the keyword 'PLBWEB_VDATALIST=OFF' is being used. In addition, the PLBWEB_VDATALIST_SORT keyword is not used when the PWS server is executed on a Linux\Linux OS system.

2. By default ( i.e. PLBWEB_VDATALIST_SORT=0 ), the virtual PWS DATALIST applies case insensitive binary sorting of all characters when the SORTED property is turned on. Sorting in this manner gives consistent results for all PWS server platform types being used.

3. When the 'PLBWEB_VDATALIST_SORT=1' keyword setting is used, the virtual PWS DATALIST applies specialized Windows OS linguistic sorting rules when the SORTED property is turned on. This means that sorted PWS DATALIST items depend on the specific language rules used by the Windows OS where the PWS server is executing.

Example:

PLBWEB_VDATALIST_SORT=on
