Processing Stages

The processor applies attribute 8 (pre-processor) codes to data before selecting items and sorting. It applies attribute 7 (input/output) codes just before displaying the data. It applies input conversion, however, to values in selection clauses before selecting items.

The following shows the stages in which processing takes place:

  Processing Stage Attribute 8 processing? Attribute 7 processing?
1. Value specified by user in a selection clause no yes *
2. Value generated to test against for selection yes no
3. Value generated for use in a sort key yes no
4. Value used for accumulation of a TOTAL yes no
5. Value generated to check for a control break or to test against print limiters yes no
6. Output value in BREAK or TOTAL data line no yes
7. Output value in detail line of listing yes Yes

* In this case input conversion is done; in all other cases output conversion is applied.

BREAK data line consists of totals, break field labels, and break data values already processed at previous stage.
