Columns 10-16 Maximum Number of Records to be Sorted Here you enter the maximum number of records to be sorted. Your entry can range from 1 to 9999999. If omitted, this value defaults to the number of records in the input file. An entry here is required if this is a multiple-file sort or if input is from a non-disk device. It is recommended that you specify this entry in cases where you expect only a small subset of records to be selected for processing from a large input file. This reduces the size of the SORT work file and results in more efficient use of disk space.
