How do u sort the table for Search ALL? Is it only using
ASCENDING KEY IS statement in occurs clause? If the data is
input in non ascending order, will the ASC KEY IS
automatically sort the data? or will it throw compile time
error?

Answer Posted / snehatechm
for using SEARCH ALL your table must be defined with KEY IS
along with the OCCURS caluse and INDEXED BY.
DATA DIVISION.
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 XXX-TABLE.
03 XXX-TEXT PIC X OCCURS 10 TIMES
ASCENDING KEY IS XXX-TEXT
INDEXED BY AXIDX.
In the above case my table is ordered in ascending sequence.
i can order my table in descending sequence also.
01 SRCHXXX PIC X.
01 XXXPOS PIC 99.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
Begin.
ACCEPT SRCHXXX
SET AXIDX TO 1
SEARCH ALL XXX-TEXT
AT END DISPLAY "NO LETTER FOUND"
WHEN XXX-TEXT(AXIDX) = SRCHXXX
SET XXXPOS TO AXIDX
DISPLAY SRCHXX " IS IN " XXXPOS
END-SEARCH
STOP RUN.
If data input in non ascending order, the ASC KEY will not
automatically sort the data
