I have distributed WORK &amp; UTL but need suggestion how to re-direct SORT. When we used HOST SORT, it was easy to direct sort temp spaces using -sortdev option. <BR /> <BR /> However, I do not think this option works with SAS SORT. Granted threading could be enabled along with CPUCOUNT, etc. however, in a large multi-user shared environment, I rather control and spread my temp spaces.<BR /> <BR /> Long winded, my apologies! Any suggestion(s)?<BR /> <BR /> Rafi Thu, 15 Nov 2007 00:57:30 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/ODS-and-Base-Reporting/SORTDEV-like-option/m-p/5515#M2203 deleted_user 2007-11-15T00:57:30Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/ODS-and-Base-Reporting/SORTDEV-like-option/m-p/5516#M2204 System configuration questions are far too specific for this forum and will vary widely for the readers of the forum.<BR /> <BR /> You need to work with Tech Support on this one.<BR /> <BR /> Kind regards<BR /> <BR /> David Thu, 15 Nov 2007 01:35:33 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/ODS-and-Base-Reporting/SORTDEV-like-option/m-p/5516#M2204 deleted_user 2007-11-15T01:35:33Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/ODS-and-Base-Reporting/SORTDEV-like-option/m-p/5517#M2205 Hi David, thank you.
