My experience has shown that if you use the form of SELECT where you
specify
a file name in quotes like this:

INPUT-OUTPUT SECTION.
FILE-CONTROL.
    SELECT INPUT-FILE ASSIGN TO "TOMYPROG".
    SELECT SORT-FILE  ASSIGN TO "TMMYPROG".

Then you get a default of 10,000 records.

However, if you use this form of the SELECT:

INPUT-OUTPUT SECTION.
FILE-CONTROL.
    SELECT INPUT-FILE ASSIGN USING WS-INPUT-FILENAME.
    SELECT SORT-FILE  ASSIGN USING WS-SORT-FILENAME.

Then you get a default of 1023 records.

And since the perfect person to fix this is now working behind bars I'm
not
sure it will ever be changed :-)
