SORT/XL Statistics Report 

SORT/XL generates a statistical report summarizing the sort operation.
This statistical report is generated and displayed each time you enter
the >END command.  Values for a sort operation on the file EMPLOYEE might
be:

                        STATISTICS

          NUMBER OF RECORDS                =         10
          NUMBER OF INTERMEDIATE PASSES    =          0
          SPACE AVAILABLE (IN WORDS)       =     11,090
          NUMBER OF COMPARES               =         34
          NUMBER OF SCRATCHFILE IO'S       =          8
          CPU TIME (MINUTES)               =        .00
          SCRATCH FILE SIZE (#SECTORS)     =         11
          ELAPSED TIME (MINUTES)           =        .01

The statistics generated by this report are used mostly by System
Managers and Programmers.  Although this information may not apply to
you, it is mentioned here since it appears on your terminal screen each
time you enter the >END command to start a sort operation.  Refer to the
SORT-MERGE/XL Programmer's Guide (32650-90080) for additional information
on SORT/XL statistics.
