Description

Calculates the minimum value of the specified field of all records

that have the same value in the specified key field.  You can

specify the key field two ways, as starting key <k1> to ending key

<k2> (conventional notation) or <key> (keyword notation).

In conventional notation, the relationship of the fields must follow

this rule: <k1> <= <k2> < <v1> <= <v2>.  In keyword notation, <key>

designates the field position as fllows:

single field       TAGa       TAGa field

contiguous fields  TAGa/TAGb from TAGa field to TAGb field

combination        TAGa@TAGb  TAGa field and TAGb field

There is no limit on the length of the key field or on the number

of key fields.  The key field can also contain multi-byte characters

such as Japanese.

The tag name specfying the field can be eclosed by braces {}.  In

this case, tag names can include special charcter like "/" or "@".

Moreover, tag names can include pairs of braces.

If you specify the fields as <v1> <v2> then the minimum value is

calculated for all fields from <v1> to <v2>.  If you specify it

as val=<val> then use formats shown above for key=<key>.  If you

omit the fields to be calculated minimum value then all fields

except for the key fields are calculated.

The minimum value will be output to a precision equal to the highest

precision value in each field.
