Kindly paste the link for a 'FINE MANUAL' on SYNCSORT only(Not DFSORT) and I will appologise for my ignorance and discover the truth for myself.
You are a senior member.I respect that and that is the reason I am avoiding an argument here.Kindly avoid replying in a manner(with questions???) that might spark a return argument from someone less patient than me.It will not help the forum.
I am here assuming there are people more knowledgable and with a little PATIENCE too in the forum.And by the way your questions did not help me too much.

I am not a user of SYNCSORT so can not post the link for you. However, I do know where the manuals are for the products that I use.
The manner in which I replied is an attempt to get you to find a way to answer your own questions. In my opinion this is the best way to learn, to know where the documentation is, and also to try things that you read about in said manual.
As for patience, I am very patient - just a little brusque at times

Hello,
The Syncsort documentation is available (free) from Syncsort, Inc for licensed users. It is copyright material and may not be linked to here in the forum.
If you run a small test using 10 or 20 input records, you can look at your input and the output and "back into" what the sort control cards are telling the sort to do. Hint: make sure that at least one of your test records has NAME beginning in position 10 for a length of 4. . .
If you look at your files, you may see that your input is variable length and the output is fixed.
When posting this type of question, it is a good idea to post the jcl as well adn the control statements. When posting jcl or control statements, it is more readable if you post using the "Code" tab at the top of the reply panel. You can also click "Preview" to see what you post will look like once submitted.
