You can invoke mfsort from the command line in one of the following ways:
mfsort instructions
mfsort take filename
where the parameters are:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| instructions | Mfsort instructions.
When specifying instructions on the command line, the maximum length of the mfsort command is 1024 characters. Characters after this limit are ignored, and if this truncation causes an invalid or incomplete command, an error is produced. |
| filename | A text file containing
mfsort instructions. See the section
Instructions. Use this method if you need to specify a lot of instructions.
This file must be a line sequential file, and the first 256 characters are processed as the command line. Characters that exceed this limit are processed separately if they form a valid command; however, this may result in undesired sort results. If this truncation causes an invalid or incomplete command, an error is produced. |
