For comparison or other purposes, SORT-MERGE/XL allows you to report statistical information. The statistical information provided by SORT-MERGE/XL includes:
Number of input files (MERGE/XL only)
Number of records sorted (or merged)
Number of intermediate passes (SORT/XL only)
Number of bytes used for the sort work area
Number of comparisons (SORT/XL only)
Amount of CPU time used (in milliseconds)
Elapsed time (in milliseconds)

|
 | NOTE: If SORT-MERGE/XL aborts, the values returned in
statistics and printed out by HPSORTSTAT and
HPMERGESTAT are unpredictable.

Syntax for HPSORTSTAT and HPMERGESTAT
is:
HPSORTSTAT (status, statistics);
HPMERGESTAT (status, statistics);
|
HPSORTSTAT and HPMERGESTAT print the
statistics array to $STDLIST.
An example of using HPSORTSTAT follows:
var
status : INTEGER;
statistics : array [1..6] of INTEGER;
.
.
.
HPSORTSTAT (status, statistics);

The intrinsics and parameters required to get statistical information are:
HPSORTINIT or HPMERGEINIT - statistics parameter must be specified.
HPSORTEND or HPMERGEEND -
statistics parameter must be specified.
HPSORTSTAT or HPMERGESTAT must be called after HPSORTEND or HPMERGEEND.
