sort: 0653-657 A write error occurred while sorting.

Hi
I am trying to sort a file of 88075743B size. I am doing some processing on the file and after the processing is done; I get 2 files temp1 and temp2. I need to combine both these files as one and this final file should be sorted on fields 1 and 2. Space is the delimiter between fields. Record length of the file is 2105.

I am sorting on temp1 and then merging temp2 with that. The commands I am using are:

Code:

sort -n -t ' ' +0 -1 $temp1 | cat > $input_file
sort -m -n -t ' ' +0 -1 $temp2 $input_file > $sort_temp

I am getting the 2 temp files sorted individually but the final file ($sort_temp) is not sorted.

If I try sort command directly without any merge; I get this error:

Code:

sort: 0653-657 A write error occurred while sorting.

Could some one tell me where I am going wrong and what should be the correct command?

Thanks

sorting numbers with sort -n

Looking for help for sort, I learned that for sorting numbers I use: sort -n but it seems that that is not enough when you have numbers like 0.2000E+7 for example, sort -n will not worry about the E+7 part, and will just sort the numbers like 0.2000. Exapmle: cat example.txt .91000E+07...
