SAMPLED keyword with a D on the end will go thru the entire file.
SAMPLED 1000  will get every thousandth record as it reads through the file.
SAMPLED 1000 SAMPLE 2000  will do the same, but then stop after it builds a
list of 2000. That is, after it's read thru the 1st 2 million keys.

I have several *very* large files on which I need to perform some file
sizing diagnostics.  Rather than repeatedly running HASH.AID against these
files is there a good way to sample say 2-3 million records to copy into a
test file?  SAMPLE will only grab the first n records in hash order and I'm
thinking that would not necessarily be a good representative sample of the
file's contents.  Am I up in the night thinking this is the case?  Is there
a better way to get a good sample of records for this purpose?

Thanks.
