The Sort utility output settings enable you to customize the process the utility uses when creating output files. The options are:
- Row Filter. An expression that defines conditions for filtering output rows. For more information, see Filtering Rows with Expression Builder.
- Debug option. When on, debug information is written to a log file. (The default is off.) For more information, see Debug Settings.
- Sample Count. This controls the reporting increment of the number of records processed count. These counts are written to the process log starting at the specified value. This output allows you to track progress and helps troubleshoot any problems. By default, this field is blank. If no value is entered, no records are written to the log file.
- See example:

If you specify the number 50, the entry in the log file would look similar to the following:
Thu July 14 11:27:35 2011 - <50> records processed
Thu July 14 11:27:35 2011 - <100> records processed
Thu July 14 11:27:35 2011 - <150> records processed
