MERGE/XL generates a statistical report summarizing the merge operation. This statistical report is generated and displayed each time you enter the >END command. Statistical values for a merge operation on the files EMPLOYEE and NEWHIRES might be: 

                  STATISTICS
    NUMBER OF INPUT FILES =              2
    NUMBER OF RECORDS =                 18
    SPACE AVAILABLE (IN WORDS) =    26,872
    NUMBER OF COMPARES =                15
