Input

000000000000023
000000000000051
Output should be
000000000000051
000000000000042

Your input does not look packed. The packed input can be sorted using
sort fields =(position, 08, pd, ascending/descending) into packed output. Then you would have to used edits of OUTREC to get the required output in numeric display format. |

Hello,
If your example data is the "visable" value of some packed-decimal field, you have not shown the sign. How should negatives be handled in your requirement?
Comp-3 fields can be properly sorted, but your requirement goes beyond just sorting a packed-decimal field. |
