Sort Reports by Identifier

To have your reports sorted by the identifier, add the SORT ALPHA operand to the TAB command.

The following commands generate a report sorted alphanumerically by transaction ID:

TAB TRANID FOR 20 SORT ALPHA,
 TRAN LIFE AND TRAN USE AND TRAN MAXLIFE
END
RUN

A report like the following is generated:

  TRAN     TRAN     TRAN     TRAN
   ID      LIFE      USE   MAX LIFE
