OK, I took out the word simple from "... and produce simple reports." Also added a link to the Wiki article on sort algorithms, and mention of the copy function in modern sorts. I also deleted a bunch of sales pitch jargon added by some idiot, apparently pushing the SyncSort product. T-bonham ( talk) 06:56, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
"... and produce simple reports." doesn't really do the capabilities of any of the products justice. I think we should say something like "... and produce both quick-and-dirty and complex-and-sophisticated reports". I'm thinking here of ICETOOL and SYNCTOOL for the QnD and eg OUTFIL and IFTHEN for CnS reports. Opinions?
Note: While a friend of the DFSORT Development team I'm trying to keep this neutral. This is NOT the place to be doing COMPETITIVE marketing, of course. Martin Packer 19:41, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
Although this article is titled "Mainframe sort merge" it is specifically about IBM. It also says "Prior to the System/370, all IBM mainframe operating systems included sort/merge utilities." I suspect, but can't verify that this would be "all mainframe operating systems," period.The article should either be expanded to include non-IBM systems, or it should be renamed "IBM Mainframe sort merge." This would not even be correct, since DOS and VM/CMS had a different sort program from OS/360. Peter Flass ( talk) 20:20, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
