Figure B–3: Format Of the Collation Table
The keyword COLLATION signals the start of a collation table entry. CODEPAGE-NAME precedes the name of the code page the collation table applies to. COLLATION-NAME precedes the name of the collation table. This name cannot exceed 19 characters and can include the characters A–Z and a–z, the numerals 0–9, and the dash (-).
COLLATION-TRANSLATION-VERSION precedes a value that Progress uses internally. Progress Software Corporation recommends that for single-byte collation tables you specify the value “1.1-16” (without the quotes).
The CASE-INSENSITIVE-SORT and CASE-SENSITIVE-SORT tables are identical to those used for a database and operate similarly.
To build a collation table for a single-byte code page, provide 256 values in 16 rows of 16 values. Be sure to format the rows of data exactly as shown.
NOTE: For the German character sharp-s (written “ß” or “ss”), supply the value 0.The ENDTABLE keyword signals the end of the collation table. The ENDCOLLATION keyword signals the end of the table entry.
