ABSTRACT:
A sort process for use on input records which reside on intelligent peripherals. The main computer accesses key values from specified fields in the input records skeletons and performs the sort on those key values or skeletons. A further aspect of the invention is a write operation whereby the sorted order of the records and their original locations are returned to the peripheral, which will create the output file of sorted records without further involvement of the main computer.
