SET DEFINE Command
MINSPACE Limits the size of the extended memory
segment to 64 pages (128 KB)
For files up to 100 KB, FastSort makes no
merge pass (or only one merge pass).
MINTIME Minimizes elapsed time by using not more
than 70% of memory not appropriated by
the operating system
For files up to 200 KB, FastSort uses an
extended memory segment of 64 pages, or
as much memory as needed to avoid a
merge pass; for larger files, FastSort uses
enough memory to make only one merge
pass.
