ABSTRACT:
An improved process for sorting data records by computer is disclosed. The process utilizes scatter-writing techniques to write data records directly from a data input area to an external storage device and to write data records directly from a merge input area directly to the external storage device. This increases the speed of the sorting process and makes more efficient use of the computer memory.
