Table 13-17. Relationship Between param-id, subsort-number, and param-
text (page 1 of 2)
param-id subsort-number param-text
CPU-MASK Unspecified or 0 Contains a string of zeros and ones, with a
maximum of 16 characters. The value of each
character indicates whether a processor is to be
used for subsort processes for a parallel sort. The
leftmost character corresponds to processor 0, the
next to 1, and so on, up to processor 15. If there
are fewer than 16 characters, the unspecified
ones are assumed to be 0.
If the value of the data item is “0” (ASCII zero),
that processor will not be used. If the value is “1,”
that processor is a candidate for use. Any other
value is an error.
Default: All processors on the system are
candidates for use.
NO-CPU-MASK Unspecified or 0 Contains a string of zeros and ones, with a
maximum of 16 characters. The value of each
character indicates whether a processor is to be
used for subsort processes for a parallel sort. The
leftmost character corresponds to processor 0, the
next to 1, and so on, up to processor 15. If there
are fewer than 16 characters, the unspecified
ones are assumed to be 0.
If the value of the data item is “0” (ASCII zero),
that processor will not be used. If the value is “1,”
that processor is a candidate for use. Any other
value is an error.
NO-CPU-MASK overrides CPU-MASK.
SCRATCH-FILE File system name of file to be used by sort as a
scratch file. If only a volume name is specified,
FastSort assigns a scratch file on that volume;
otherwise, a legal file name must be specified.
ASSIGN commands that specify that file name are
ignored.
Unspecified or 0 File in the ASSIGN clause for the SD used is
used.
Greater than 0 Scratch file is assigned on $SYSTEM for that
subsort.
SORT-PROGRAM Unspecified or 0 File-system file name of the file that contains the
SORTPROG program. If SORTPROG is not
specified or is specified with a value of all spaces,
FastSort uses $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.SORTPROG.
