Examples
Output all the values in a DataRecord in alphabetical order
// Generally when a sorted set or map is needed, a data structure should be chosen that stores the values
// in a sorted way, such as TreeSet or TreeMap. However, sometimes the set or map is returned by a library
// and may not have sorted values, although sorted values are needed.
List keys = sutil.sortSet(dataRecord.keySet(), true);
for(int i = 0; i < keys.size(); i++)
{
key = keys.get(i);
session.log(key + " : " + dataRecord.get(key));
}
