Writer instructions
Purpose	Use this page to display a banner announcement on each page of the space. Create the Space announcements page in the master space, outside of the Home branch. You can version the Space announcements page to enable different banners to be published into different target spaces, however, the banner that is displayed in the versioned (master) space itself only displays the most recently-published banner. If you find errors in the banner area of your versioned space and you are sure the Space announcements page is set up correctly, try publishing the page to the same space. For more information, see Space-announcements-banners.
Removing	When an announcement is no longer needed, remove the BMC Space Banner macro.
Translation	Localized spaces using the L10n Viewport theme must change the name of this page to Space announcements l10n. See Configuring-the-Scroll-ViewPort-theme-for-translated-spaces.
Usage	Choose one or none of the following BMC Space Banner macros. If your space requires another kind of announcement, you can use this page in coordination with your team lead and editors. When should I use a space announcement banner? Use the space organization announcement after you change the content from a book-like organization (such as User Manual, Configuration Manual, and Administration Guide) to the product model. Use the latest version announcement to push traffic to later versions. You do not need to add this to every previous version, but if you have a specific reason that you want users to be aware—for example, Google searches show content for an obsolete version—use the banner to help users find a relevant version. When an announcement is no longer needed, remove the BMC Space Banner macro.

SORT

The SORT command sorts table rows during a browse or edit session and sorts objects in a list. The SORT command can also be issued on SQL Development and Analysis selection screens. The valid sort parameters for these screens are listed with each screen display. See SQL-Development-and-Analysis-function for more information.

SORT in Browse or Edit

In a browse or edit session, the SORT command sorts the rows of a table by the columns you specify. You must specify a sort order (ascending or descending) for all columns except the last one entered. The display is repositioned to the beginning row of the sorted results.

Important

Entering SORT with no column name, or entering SORT ALL, displays the window discussed in SORT Command Window.

The SORT command defaults to sorting only non-excluded rows. Excluded rows are placed at the end of the sorted table. If the ALL parameter is used, excluded rows become visible and are sorted.

ALL

Specifies the sort is done on all rows (excluded and non-excluded). If specified, ALL must be the first parameter.

column-name

Name of the table column by which you want to sort. Partial column names may be entered. If more than one column name matches the criteria, the window in Column Selection window displays only those matching the criteria. See Partial-Column-Names for more information.

A

Specifies the sort is to be in ascending order. Default only for the last column name specified.

D

Specifies the sort is to be in descending order.

SORT Command Window

The SORT command window (see the following figure) lists all the columns in the table, allowing you to select your sort order. It displays when you enter SORT with no parameters. Press Enter on this screen to process the sort and exit the window. Press END to cancel the SORT command and exit the window.
