Subject: Rexx bug?
Running z/OS 1.9.
Running this, I get a match.
Chris,
Thanks for the correction. Yes, Log2 would offer a better guide than logN
for the analysis of sort performance characteristics.

Jim,
Thanks for the reference.
I have to admit that I did not even think about Wikipedia.

As you can see, the rate of growth of the mathematical expression "N log
(N)" is clearly shows "exponential" characteristics.

case.

difficult and far too few analysts these days are willing to take the time.
