Enter "Yes" THEN ENTER A CONTROL Z if you want to see records with duplicate key fields, otherwise "No." If any records are too short (that is, the entire sort field doesn't exist) error messages are produced. Either remove these records, that are typically not of the desired type or pad out short fields with blanks. When sorting directories, the date, null directory segment delimeter records, or free blocks message in directories are frequently too short for sorting. Note that if warnings are not produced, the ordering of duplicate records is not changed from the way they orginally appeared, but if warnings are produced the final ordering of the duplicates is backwards from how the records originally appeared. This causes the warning to be printed only once for each duplicate record. It also allows the records to be put into descending order by first sorting them into ascending order and then sorting again with 0 field length and Yes to the warnings prompt. WARNING: IF ONLY ONE character IS ENTERED BE SURE TO ALSO ENTER A CARRIAGE RETURN SINCE THE SYSTEM WILL LOOSE A SINGLE CHARACTER. IF YOU FORGET THIS THE EFFECT WILL BE AS IF YOU HAD TYPED IN A "No". Enter "Yes" OR "No" THEN ENTER A CONTROL Z
