RE: how to sort a file in place?

Dan,

I get what you are saying with single level storage and all.  And how the 
table may be splattered across several disks anyway.  I also understand 
that DSPPFM is just an abstraction, after all, date fields don't really 
take up that much space.
However, even knowing all that, I still think that IBM put KEYFILE in 
there for a reason other than to make DSPPFM look good.
