ORDINAL

Attention: This topic applies to a feature that is in Early Adopter Program (EAP) release status. We intend to provide the finalized feature in a future release. Please contact OpenText Support for Micro Focus Products if you require further clarification.

Use the ORDINAL attribute to declare a variable with an ordinal type. The format is:

{ORDINAL|TYPE} ordinal-type-name

Where ordinal-type-name is the name of a defined set of ordinal values.

Some other data attributes, such as FIXED or SIGNED, conflict with ORDINAL; however, no conflict exists with others such as BASED or DIMENSION.

Example

See Example 3 in the DEFINE ORDINAL topic.
