The collation table the AVM uses with the Internal Code
Page (-cpinternal) startup parameter.
Data type: CHARACTER
Access: Read-only
Applies to: SESSION system handle
By
default, the AVM uses the collation rules you specify to compare
characters and sort records. The collation rules specified with
the Collation Table (-cpcoll) startup parameter
take precedence over a collation specified for any database the
AVM accesses during the session, except when the AVM uses or modifies
pre-existing indexes. If you do not specify a collation with the
-cpcoll startup parameter, the AVM uses the language
collation rules defined for the first database on the command line.
If you do not specify a database on the command line, the AVM uses
the collation rules with the default name "basic"
(which might or might not exist in the convmap.cp file).
