SYNTAX>E[ND] DISCUSSIONThe >END command indicates all commands have been specified and the SORT/XL or MERGE/XL program should begin operation. If the terminal ($STDIN) is specified in the >INPUT command of the SORT/XL program, you enter and receive sort data from the terminal. A work file is not created. The character ? is displayed following the >END command, and the input records are typed in from the terminal. After the >END command is issued, in an interactive session or batch job, the sort or merge operation is started. This is followed by a statistical report on the operation that is displayed on your terminal screen. This report is followed by the message END OF PROGRAM and the MPE XL colon prompt (:). EXAMPLESThe following example shows how to use the >END command in an interactive session: :SORT HP32214A.01.00 SORT/3000 THU, JUN 4, 1987, 9:30 AM (C) HEWLETT-PACKARD CO. 1986 >INPUT EMPLOYEE >OUTPUT COMPANY >KEY 1,10 >END STATISTICS NUMBER OF RECORDS = 6 NUMBER OF INTERMEDIATE PASSES = 0 SPACE AVAILABLE (IN WORDS) = 27,047 NUMBER OF COMPARES = 13 NUMBER OF SCRATCHFILES IO'S = 6 CPU TIME (MINUTES) = .00 ELAPSED TIME (MINUTES) = .49 RECORD SIZE (IN BYTES) = 80 SCRATCH FILE SIZE (# SECTORS) = 3,502 END OF PROGRAM :The following example shows what occurs when the >END command is entered after the terminal has been designated as the input device and output device.
