So if I send 1,000K it might take 10 seconds, I can then predict that if I send 10,000K it would take 100 seconds. Is this true? If it is can you point me to any independent research that confirms this relationship? >> CLICK for Clayton's expert response: http://search390.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid10_cid489735_tax287117,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= REMOVING DUPLICATE RECORDS FROM A SEQUENTIAL FILE | by Mark Zelden Dear Ask the Expert, How do I remove duplicate records from a sequential file with a record length of 1500 and over 500,000 records?
