The sort statement specifies information about a work file for sorting that is used when an index is created in the batch index creation mode (-i c).
sort [server-name] directory-name |
~<identifier> ((1-8))
Specify the name of the server used to create the work file for sorting.
For a HiRDB single server configuration, do not specify the server name.
~<pathname> ((1-255))
Specify the absolute pathname of the directory in which the sort work file is to be created.
Do not allocate NFS to the directory specified in the sort statement. If NFS is allocated, twice as much space is required for the work file for sorting as when a local file is used. Also, problems occur related to retention of work files for sorting.
