Last week Jerry Fochtman pointed out that SUPRTOOL under MPE/iX 6.5
could fully extract and sort a large JUMBO set and create a large file.

I'd just like to add that this feature does require the next
version of Suprtool 4.3 which should be distributed to North
American customers around April. If you need it earlier, then
contact us.
