Usage Note 41203: Support for the PROC SORT option PRESORTED added with SAS® Scalable Performance Data Server 4.52
 |  |  |  |  |
Beginning with SAS® SPD Server 4.52, support for the PROC SORT option PRESORTED has been added. Use the PRESORTED option when you know or strongly suspect that a SAS SPD Server data set is already in order according to the key variables that are specified in the BY statement. By specifying the PRESORTED option, you can avoid sorting the data set.
Prior to SAS SPD Server 4.52 HF3, issuing the PRESORTED option on a PROC SORT statement resulted in the following error:
Segmentation Violation In Task [ SORT ]
