Need help in copying record with COMP Fields

Hi,

I want to sort(copy) a file which is having a field declared in COMP.

Can anyone suggest how should I write the sortcard.

For example, for character it is as below

INCLUDE= (1,9,CH,C'AAAAAAAAA')

WHAT would be the syntax if the field is a COMP FIELD (4 BYTE) in the file

THANKS

You would have to use the Hex representation of the required value.

Actually I have to copy so many record using INCLUDE CONDITION, so getting HEX equivalent will be too hectic.

Is there any other way out?

sushidas,

If you know the decimal value of the COMP field, you can use that. For example:

Putting on my Moderator's hat:

We have two DFSORT developers answering questions in the DFSORT Forum, so we don't really need help doing so. If you want to answer questions here with efficient DFSORT/ICETOOL solutions, that's fine (Sambhaji seems to do that quite often). But we don't need anyone here giving generic answers like "read the manual" (the manual is over 800 pages long), taking wild guesses, or (especially) throwing daggers at people. It just wastes space and clutters up the Forum. If you want to "educate" people who don't meet your criteria for the way they ask questions, please do it elsewhere!
