PROC MFX is a high-performance replacement for the SAS-provided procedure PROC SORT. Compared to PROC SORT, PROC MFX significantly reduces the resources required for sorting within SAS applications.

PROC MFX:
Reduces elapsed time for running your SAS applications
Improves your system throughput and response time
Installs without changing your existing programs that use PROC SORT

Benchmark tests show dramatic performance advantages when PROC MFX is used instead of PROC SORT:

45% reduction in task CPU time
79% in I/Os
25% in elapsed time

PROC MFX achieves such incredible gains by providing a direct interface between SAS programs and SyncSort MVS or MFX for z/OS. This frees MFX to use the high-performance techniques – sophisticated access methods, path length minimization, I/O optimization – that have made MFX the most frequently used sort product.
