Running a Key and Permutation Sort
Running a Key and Permutation Sort
Each output record from a combined key and permutation sort consists of a sequence
number followed by the key-field values. The following commands direct FastSort to
reorder the records in PLANTS1 and PLANTS2 using the same key fields and to write
both the sequence numbers and the key-field values to SORTOUT:
