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
