Using the statistics parameter in the HPSORTINIT and HPSORTEND intrinsics, and calling HPSORTSTAT from the core sorting routine example in Figure 2-1 "Core Routine" results in the following output: 

   **************************************************
   *****************   STATISTICS *******************
   **************************************************
    Number of records sorted =                       8
    Number of intermediate passes =                  0
    Number of bytes used for the sort work area =    27831
    Number of comparisons =                          6
    CPU time used (in millisecond) =                 45
    Elapsed time (in millisecond) =                  241
Using the statistics parameter in the HPMERGEINIT and HPMERGEEND intrinsics, and calling HPMERGESTAT from the core merging routine example in Chapter 2, results in the following output: 

   **************************************************
   *****************   STATISTICS *******************
   **************************************************
    Number of inputfiles =                           2
    Number of merged records =                       8
    Number of bytes used for the sort work area =    27794
    CPU time used (in millisecond) =                 46
    Elapsed time (in millisecond) =                  843
