The OP (me :-) wrote in the initial post that the application *cannot* provide an estimate. I did not write about the fact that DFSORT sometimes decides it cannot do in-memory sorting because it would hurt the overall system health. I did not because that is not part of my questions. Be assured I do understand the in-memory options DFSORT provides. -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
