	The "COLLATE" parameter allows you to specify your collating sequence. ~~See~~ [[BRConfig.sys]] ~~for more information about~~ the ~~difference between~~ COLLATE NATIVE and COLLATE ALTERNATE~~. The~~ collating sequence ~~listed~~ in the ~~OPTION statement overrides the one listed in the BRConfig~~.~~sys file~~.		The "COLLATE" parameter allows you to specify your collating sequence. COLLATE can also be specified in [[BRConfig.sys]], but this is overridden by the collating sequence in the OPTION statement.

			COLLATE NATIVE specifies the ASCII collating sequence. In this sequence, the binary representations of the numbers 0-9 precede those of the uppercase letters A-Z, which in turn precede their lowercase counterparts. The numbers 0-9, then, are represented by ASCII codes 048-057; uppercase letters are represented by ASCII codes 065-090, and lowercase letters are represented by codes 097-122.<br>
			(See a complete listing of [[ASCII codes]] for details.)

			The COLLATE ALTERNATE specification specifies a collating sequence similar to EBCDIC in that the numbers 0-9 follow uppercase and lowercase letters (other values will differ). With COLLATE ALTERNATE, 0-9 are represented by codes 176-195.

	===Parameters===		===Parameters===
	The "BASE" parameter allows you to choose between BASE 0, which specifies that every array includes a zero element, and BASE 1, which indicates that every array begins with element 1. If an array has two or more dimensions, OPTION BASE applies to all dimensions. "INVP" instructs the system to invert the normal printing of commas and periods in numeric values to support European notation. A number such as 98,248.6 would appear as 98.248,6 when INVP is indicated.
