Problem sorting large nested arrays

Postby Chris McIntosh » July 28th, 2011, 4:33 pm

I'm trying to sort 3 large nested arrays. Each contains strings of the form "DDDDDD-DDDDDD", where the D's are digits 0 through 9.

Array1 has length 25,925. Array2 has length 25131. Array3 has length 51056.

The statements I'm using are:

Hi Chris,

Thanks for reporting this.

We are analyzing to duplicate the issue. If we can, we will create a fix and issue a new release. If not, we will ask you to attach a zip file of sample data to your post for us to try here.

Hi, Joe,

Thanks for looking into this. I appreciate it.

Some additional information. I did some more investigating, and it looks like sorts of arrays around 25,000 elements are not working either.

However, in trying to confirm this, I ran into another problem. The code I was using is below:

// Due to 12 digit keys, Int32[] isn't big enough.
// Key1Numeric can be untyped, but then is difficult to examine
// in Visual Studio.
Int64[] Key1Numeric

// Get alpha keys for 1st data, turn to numeric, sort.

Hi, Joe,

It took me four tries to post the message above. Parts of my code kept getting deleted. If you read an early version of my post, please re-read to make sure you have the complete code.

Thanks, Joe.

Hi again, Joe,

I'm trying to find workarounds until this problem is found/fixed, but keep running into more strangeness. I was trying to use a dyadic iota in place of sorts. Here is the latest strangeness.

P.S. I should have stated that in the above example, Key1Numeric is not strongly typed. If I do strongly type it with Int64[], the dyadic iota gives a DOMAIN ERROR. It doesn't matter whether I strongly type Test or not. The result is the same. Chris.

We are analyzing this report - Thanks for sending it.

We are reviewing the promotion of Int64 to double inside of the cvar class. I will post results asap.

Hi, Joe,

Here is a much simpler example of character sorting not working, with a very small array.

// Script: TestSort created on 2011-08-17 10:59:36 AM by chris

// Create an array of states.
