3. Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 3 Internal Matrix Generation  Aggregation is performed as record is sorted, with FOCUS sort  Aggregation is performed by external sort if SET EXTAGGR = ON  Numeric Fields are added. Alpha fields being SUMmed, return the LAST value within the BY field, the FST value with external sorts  (SET SUMPREFIX=LST if required)  All verb objects are also COUNTed n Once an acceptable record has been retrieved, the fields for SORTREC are moved, and the record is released to Sort 

4. Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 4 Internal Matrix Generation  When BINs are full, subsequent records will re-use BINs (EXTSORT is OFF) or be passed to the external sort (EXTSORT is ON)  After all records are retrieved, a final merge will take place  The end of the final merge is noted by: Records = Lines =  76 Feature: Unlimited FOCSORT  Initially SORT occurs in BINs 
