I'd suggest this subroutine. Brief and to the point:
SUBROUTINE HUB.SORT.B (ITAB)
OTAB =
FOR X = 1 TO DCOUNT(ITAB,@AM)
ELEM = ITABX
LOCATE ELEM IN OTAB BY AL SETTING PLACE ELSE NULL
OTAB = INSERT(OTAB,PLACE;ELEM)
NEXT X
ITAB = OTAB
RETURN
END

I've been experimenting and discovered something. Instead of waiting
until you have all (say) 100,000 elements to sort at once, why not sort
them in blocks of (say) 5,000. So I wrote this little subroutine that
takes two parameters, a relatively small un-sorted table and the larger
sorted table

I've only got a handful of dynamic files but of course they're huge and
have a big impact on our daily and monthly processing. I'd REALLY like
to understand the tuning mechanisms for these files, specifically
SPLIT/MERGE.
The formulas that I got on previous responses just don't seem to make
Doesn't 1% split load seem a little low?

Greetings Doug,
This is where my confusion is. The formula that I'm using to compute the
split load does not change, regardless of the block size. And yet you're
saying changing my block size to 2k will change it from 1% to 6%.
So, here's my formula, based on the very informative FAQ from
Thank you Wally. That's what I was looking for, a 'base' line. 1% or
even 6% seemed low.
Doesn't splitting basically happen when too many keys are hashed to the
same group for KEYONLY hashed files?

Hey Doug,
Thanks for your confirmation of my understanding Wally's adeptness in
Unidata. I always wait anxiously for his replies to these threads.
I believe the *100 simply gets the percentage to a whole number so the
INT() works.
I am indeed going to go to the 8k block size to reduce the % of
This is the best solution, using REMOVE and building a new list instead of
constantly 'shrinking' the original table.
That being said, as NEW.LIST gets rather large, adding new elements to it can
get 'time' consuming. Just like the REMOVE keeps track of the pointer as you
spin through a table,

I get flat files that I'd like to 'flip' to accommodate the multi-value
database. For example, given this table:
123456vmDAVID JONESvm1234 MAIN ST.vmANYWHEREvmMIvm12345am
654321vmJOHN SMITHvm4321 MAIN ST.vmANYWHEREvmMIvm12345
Is there a function that will change it to:

with null attributes and values, but this just may work!

Excellent news.
However, is there a way to utilize two indexes with the SELECTINDEX
command in Unibasic?

I would HOPE that it evaluates it each time since the size of array could
change within the loop.
Personally if the size of array is relatively small, DCOUNT is alright.
However I've found REMOVE to be EXTREMELY faster and therefore use it whenever
possible, even on small arrays.
For example,
