This is an OPTIONAL call to pass in the Header Key information for sequencing the output and also for pagination of the generated spooled file. Key call MUST come BEFORE the *HDR Header call.
The generated spooled file will be sorted by the selected Key Field(s) e.g. by Invoice number, Order number of whatever you have selected to paginate your output. If you don't want the order of the documents in your output to change you can generate your own Key Field 1 by using COBCOUNT to generate a unique key when the key changes in the original spooled file.
