Hi guys,

I am presently using version 7.1 on a Solaris box.  I downloaded 8.21 and really love the improvement in speed (almost 50% in some tests).  I am looking to replace the commercial product NSORT and would like this feature in the source instead of a wrapper.  If I have a file

XXXX300001XXXX

XXXX300002XXXX

XXXX300003XXXX

XXXX300003XXXX

XXXX300003XXXX

XXXX300003XXXX

XXXX300004XXXX

XXXX300005XXXX

XXXX300006XXXX

XXXX300007XXXX

 

NSORT keeps the 4 300003 records together in entry sequence.   My present work-around is to use a Python script that reads in the whole file and creates a pseudo-key that is 30000X plus an 8 digit sequence number (I process millions of records).  What I am thinking of is an –es (--entry-sequence) that would add a hidden –k to process on this internal sequence.  If I figure out how to do this on my own, I will submit it to you.

 

 

Thanks,

Danny Nicholas
