I use SORT to copy a dataset and replace some fields :
Here are my statements :
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(1,62,C'0000000',70,197,C'000',270)
My datasets are FB/299
The Msg is : ICE126A Inconsistent Reformating Fields Found
It's for the value 270 whitout the length, but i'll like the sort calculate
the rest of the record, i-e 30 .
Can anyone help me ?

| You can only use p without m (e.g. 270) for a VB file - in that case, DFSORT copies the variable part of the record. For an FB file, you have to specify p,m - starting position and length. |
