Getting SORT-MERGE/XL Information

Example of Getting Sort/Merge Statistics

Using the

statistics

parameter in the HPSORTINIT and HPSORTEND intrinsics, and calling

HPSORTSTAT from the core sorting routine example in Figure 2-1. on page 18 results in the

following output:

**************************************************

***************** STATISTICS *******************

**************************************************

Number of records sorted = 8

Number of intermediate passes = 0

Number of bytes used for the sort work area = 27831

Number of comparisons = 6

CPU time used (in millisecond) = 45

Elapsed time (in millisecond) = 241

Using the

statistics

parameter in the HPMERGEINIT and HPMERGEEND intrinsics, and

calling HPMERGESTAT from the core merging routine example in Chapter 2, results in the

following output:

**************************************************

***************** STATISTICS *******************

**************************************************

Number of inputfiles = 2

Number of merged records = 8

Number of bytes used for the sort work area = 27794

CPU time used (in millisecond) = 46

Elapsed time (in millisecond) = 843
