Introduction to MPE XL for MPE V Programmers Migration Guide

Overview of MPE XL and MPE V/E Differences 

MPE XL contains the new SORT-MERGE/XL facility with HPSORT-HPMERGE
intrinsics.  Using the new facility is similar to using SORT-MERGE/V.

All SORT-MERGE intrinsics can be used in NM and CM, but for more
efficiency in Native Mode, use the new HPSORT-HPMERGE intrinsics.  The
new HPSORT-HPMERGE intrinsics are used in the same way as the SORT-MERGE
intrinsics, but some parameters have changed.

New 

MPE XL features that are not available on MPE V/E include:

 *  The following intrinsics:

HPMERGEEND (NM)                             HPMERGEERRORMESS (NM)
HPMERGEINIT (NM)                            HPMERGEOUTPUT (NM)
HPMERGESTAT (NM)                            HPMERGETITILE (NM)
HPSORTEND (NM)                              HPSORTERRORMESS (NM)
HPSORTINIT                                  HPSORTINPUT
HPSORTOUTPUT                                HPSORTSTAT
HPSORTTITLE
