Answer to question 27

What PIPE solution is more friendly to your paging subsystem ? Why ?

1. 'PIPE < USER DIRECT | FIND USER|SORT 6-13| > ALL-MY USERS A'
2. 'PIPE < USER DIRECT | SORT 6-13|FIND USER| > ALL-MY USERS A'

Our questions were a bit too easy this time...  It's rather obvious that the first PIPE has less records to sort (only the matching records) and thus needs a smaller buffer to collect the records.
