SORT – EDIT MASK PATTERNS

When you want the sort to present your input numeric field in a format that you want in your output, you can make use of already available edit mask patterns provided below.

In the patterns:

  1. I indicates a leading insignificant digit to be displayed as 1-9, or as blank for a leading 0.
  1. T indicates a significant digit to be displayed as 0-9.
  1. S before the digits indicates a leading sign. S after the digits indicates a trailing sign. For M4, the leading sign is to be displayed as + for a positive value or as − for a negative value. For EDIT=(SI,III,III,IIT.TTT),SIGNS=(,−), the leading sign is to be displayed as blank for a positive value or as − for a negative value.
  1. Any other character (for example, comma, decimal point or hyphen) is just displayed as appropriate.
