Defining the unformatted layout selection condition

As illustrated in Formatted XREF Definition. Specifying the Selection Condition, the ORDER-TYPE field is located in column 11 of each data record. When the ORDER-TYPE field is equal to "SC", the ORDERSC member is to be used to format the data.

More About Unformatted XREF Definition

• Valid RO operators include: BT, EQ, GE, GT, LE, LT, MX, NB, NE, and NO.
• The following codes are not allowed when defining an XREF: CO and NC.

• The value you specify in the Position field can be a relative position by using one of the following Position values:

  Position	Description
  *n	(asterisk "n") where n represents a byte of data relative to data record byte 1. The *n notation is used for SEG (segment) type layouts when the determination of the presence of a segment is based on a data field in the base portion of the record rather than the segment itself.
  -n	(minus "n") where n represents a byte of data relative to the end of the currently displayed layout. The -n notation is used for SEG (segment) type layouts when the determination of the presence and format of the next segment of record data is based on a data field in the currently displayed segment (or base) portion of the record rather than the next segment itself.
  +n	(plus n) where n represents a byte of data beyond the end of the currently displayed layout. The+n notation is implied when no special character (+, -, *) precedes a Position value for SEGMENT status layouts. With +n or n alone, the determination of the presence and format of the next segment of record data is based on a data field in the next segment itself.

• Valid line commands include:
  • A (After)
  • B (Before)
  • C (Copy a line to A or B marker)
  • D (Delete line)
  • I (Insert)
  • M (Move)
  • R (Repeat).
