Please tell us in detail what you do with CoSort.
For example, "we pre-sort extracted Oracle table data in flat files to speed loads as well as produce aggregate reports." Or, "We use CoSort to replicate the selection and sorting we did in COBOL on the mainframe."

Please describe the volume of data and the data types CoSort processes.
For example, "our input file sizes range from 200MB to 80GB, and we sort EBCDIC data with packed decimal fields.
