The following DFSORT job will do what you asked for. I assumed you wanted a length of 4 for the COMP field, but you can change the LENGTH if appropriate.
| Code: |
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=... input file (FB/50)
//SORTOUT DD DSN=... output file (FB/51)
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(1,20,
21,3,ZD,TO=BI,LENGTH=4,
24,27)

If you're not familiar with DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, I'd suggest reading through "z/OS DFSORT: Getting Started". It's an excellent tutorial, with lots of examples, that will show you how to use DFSORT, DFSORT's ICETOOL and DFSORT Symbols. You can access it online, along with all of the other DFSORT books, from:

Thank you Frank,
I have tried it out and it worked good.
I had also seen TO=FI
Is this used for converting signed Decimals to COMP?

BI is unsigned (e.g. X'FFFF' = 65535). FI is signed (e.g. X'FFFF' = -1).
For more details on the various formats supported by DFSORT, and how DFSORT formats relate to COBOL data types, see Appendix C of "z/OS DFSORT Application Programming Guide". You can access it, along with all of the other DFSORT books, from:
