0906 - Summary/Objective
0907 -
090701 - Follow up ref SDS 46 0000, ref SDS 45 0000.
090702 -
090703 - As a result of poor performance by Supersort on c13 reported 010202,
090704 - ref SDS 39 QL5K, and failure of corrective efforts on 010214,
090705 - ref SDS 47 QL5K, submitted ref DIT 1 0001 to Opt Tech Data Processing
090706 - about replacing Supersort with Opt Tech Sort (OTS).
090707 -
090708 - On 010210 research for solutions to improve Supersort showed that some
090709 - customers have replaced Supersort with Opt Tech Sort. ref SDS 44 XX7G
090710 -
090711 -     [On 010222 ordered Supersort. ref SDS 48 CR4O
090712 -
090713 -     [On 010227 received Supersort. ref SDS 49 0001

090715 -     [On 010301 seems to solve problem. ref SDS 50 0001
090716 - ..
090717 - Explain problem....
090718 -
090719 -     Supersort on a P4 1.4 GHz 400 MHz bus system takes 13 seconds to
090720 -     execute a selection spec on a 10 MB file, under w2k running in a
090721 -     DOS window.  The same operation under w2k in a DOS window on a
090722 -     PIII 650 MHz computer takes only 1 second to do the same thing, as
090723 -     reported on 010202. ref SDS 39 QL5K
090724 -
090725 -     Does Opt Tech Sort have a similar drop off in performance using a
090726 -     P4 faster environment?
090727 -     ..
090728 -     The Supersort command file looks like this.....
090729 -
090730 -     i 360 cr
090731 -     no-r
090732 -     s e:\sd\08\00000\06\00001

090737 -     and fi 75 88 ="03 00050 01 02" &
090738 -      and fi 15 19 = "00101"

090740 -     go
090741 -
090742 -     Does Opt Tech Sort permit a similar spec?
090743 -
090744 -     Thanks very much for your help?
