You could try using DFSORT's SQZ function, PREBLANKing the dollar and comma signs.

You can do this with SFF and EDIT, but you need to give some more information. Show some more examples of your input values and expected output values (e.g. positive values, smaller values like 1.23, etc). Use code tags to show the input values and expected output values. Give the starting position and length of the input field and output field. Give the RECFM and LRECL of the input file and output file.
Going by just the one value you showed, you could use these DFSORT control statements:
| Code: |
OPTION COPY
INREC BUILD=(1,14,SFF,EDIT=(TTTTTTT.TTS),SIGNS=(,,,-))
|
But those may not be the right statements depending on what other values you have/want. |

Oops. That should be SFF (signed free form), not UFF (unsigned free form).
| Code: |
OPTION COPY
INREC BUILD=(1,14,SFF,EDIT=(TTTTTTT.TTS),SIGNS=(,,,-))
|
I've corrected my original post. |
