Two INFO/ACCESS commands, LIST-ITEM and SORT-ITEM, produce a vertical display of all the data in specified file items, one item per page. Data is listed as it is stored in the file with no conversion codes applied.
The next query lists the item BLEAR6803 from the CUSTOMERS file:
|
>LIST-ITEM CUSTOMERS 'BLEAR6803' |
|

The SORT-ITEM command works the same way, except it also sorts the items by the specified attribute. This query sorts all items in the CUSTOMERS file by state, then by last name, and sends the report to the printer:
|
>SORT-ITEM CUSTOMERS BY STATE BY LAST-NAME (P) |
