Can we convert the Packed Decimal (Comp-3) to Numeric Edited Picture Clause using DFSORT?

Raja,

I don't know exactly what you mean by "Numeric Edited Picture Clause", but you can use DFSORT to convert a PD value to various other values.

See the following for more information:

If you need more specific help, give the starting position and length of the PD field and show me exactly what you want the converted output field to look like.
