MERGE/XL Statistics Report 

MERGE/XL generates a statistical report summarizing the merge operation.
This statistical report is generated and displayed each time you enter
the >END command.  Statistical values for a merge operation on the files
EMPLOYEE and NEWHIRES might be:

                        STATISTICS

          NUMBER OF INPUT FILES =              2
          NUMBER OF RECORDS =                 18
          SPACE AVAILABLE (IN WORDS) =    26,872
          NUMBER OF COMPARES =                15
          CPU TIME (MINUTES)                 .00
          RECORD SIZE (IN BYTES) =            72
          :

The statistics generated by this report are used mostly by System
Managers and Programmers.  Although this information may not apply to
you, it is mentioned here since it appears on your terminal screen each
time you enter an >END command to start a merge operation.  Refer to the
SORT-MERGE/XL Programmer's Guide (32650-90080) for additional information
on MERGE/XL statistics.
