Documentation and code disagree an the indicator to use for "Alternative Key with Duplicates"

[Anonymous]

Hi,

GCSORT help (gcsort -help) states that the keytype indicator to use for "Alternative Key with Duplicates" is "D", however checkingscanner.l, we can find :

            /*  Key Tye for indexed file P=Primary, A= ALternative, AD = Alternative with duplicates, C = Continue */
KEYTYPE         P|A|AD|C

Which one is right ?

Hi David,
AD is the correct option for "Alternative Key with Duplicates", D is a typo. I will edit the gcsort help.
Thank you.
