Aren't C & F both positive ?
If so, what is the problem ? |

| SyncSort returns a C sign for ZD instead of an F sign. DFSORT gives an F sign for TO=ZD. Try using TO=ZDF. |

You're on the right track, but you have it a bit wrong for the OP's question.
The OP is using:
| Code: |
OUTREC FIELDS=1:1,9,ZD,PD,LENGTH=5
|
That's equivalent to TO=PD, not TO=ZD. DFSORT gives a C sign for TO=PD whereas Syncsort gives an F sign. To ensure you get a C sign for both, you can use TO=PDC. |

narasimha.g,
Support for TO=PDC was included in SyncSort for z/OS 1.3. You are apparently running an earlier release of SyncSort. For an alternate solution, check out the second to last post in the thread referenced by Gerry above. If you still have questions, please let me know.
Regards,
Alissa |
