File "rps" had been through process GATHER and was thus sorted
according to RP or CDP.  e.g.

lsd rps 1 11

When trying to extract all the traces from a single shot, the user
tried to override the automatic file type sensing used in process
DISKIN by using parameter SORT.

  SIOSEIS ver 97.8 (23 Oct. 1997)  (C) Regents of U.C.                           
 procs diskin prout end 
 diskin 
    sort shot 
    fno 1187 lno 1187 
    ipath rps end 
 end 
 prout 
     fno 0 lno 999999 ftr 0 ltr 99999 end 
 end 
 end

 SHOT       1187 TRACE     6 RP    5492 TRACE     2
  END OF SIOSEIS RUN


Only one trace was returned because DISKIN saw a shot number different
from the one wanted and thought that was the end of the shot.
The solution was to resort using process SORT so that all the traces
from the same same shot number are grouped together.  Process sort
just creates a table of disk addresses and does not sort the whole
file.

The following gave the desired results:

 procs sort diskin prout end 
 sort 
    lkey1 3 lkey2 4 ipath rps opath sorted end 
 end 
 diskin 
    sort shot 
    fno 1187 lno 1187 
    ipath rps spath sorted end 
 end 
 prout 
     fno 0 lno 999999 ftr 0 ltr 99999 end 
 end
