Enhancement to the SUMPREFIX Parameter

The SUMPREFIX parameter allows you to specify which value will be displayed when aggregating an alphanumeric or smart date field in the absence of any prefix operator. The default value is LST, which will return the physical last value within the sort group. FST has been available, which will return the first physical value in the sort group. The setting has been enhanced to include MIN and MAX to return either the minimum value or maximum value within the sort group.

MIN and MAX correspond to the SQL MIN and MAX functions and can be easily converted to SQL when optimizing a request against a relational database.
