Required Arguments
- n
-
specifies a number
of bytes of memory to pass to the sort utility. If n is
0, the sort uses the default that was defined when it was installed.
- nK
-
specifies a number
of kilobytes of memory to pass to the sort utility.
- nM
-
specifies a number
of megabytes of memory to pass to the sort utility.
- nG
-
specifies a number
of gigabytes of memory to pass to the sort utility.
- MAX
-
specifies that the
characters MAX are to be passed to the system sort utility. This
specification causes the sort utility to size itself. Not all sort
utilities support this feature.
- SIZE
-
specifies that the
sort is to use the total amount of free space in the virtual machine
minus the amount that is specified by the LEAVE= option in the PROC
SORT statement.
