Hi Pravin,
Is there only this numeric field in the flat file? You haven't specified the record length and starting position.
If there is only numeric field then use below sort card.
| Code: |
OPTION COPY
OUTREC FIELDS(1,7,ZD,TO=BI,LENGTH=4) |
Thanks, |

Thanks for the reply.
But When I have given the statements you have specified, the job got abended with code 16 i.e.ICE010A 0 NO SORT OR MERGE CONTROL STATEMENT
So i have given statement
| Code: |
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(1,7,ZD,TO=BI,LENGTH=4)
END
|
But it is not working it is simply copying those field in to o/p file(Not converting into BI).
Please suggest. |

Hi Pravin,
Can you please verify that the control statements in SYSIN are given from 2nd column or greater, with OPTION COPY statement.
I guess starting the control statements from 2nd column or after will solve your problem. |

ppravin47,
Why did you specify OPTION COPY and SORT FIELDS=COPY both?
Thanks, |

Sorry Friends I had made a small mistake. 
Like 1st run I had executed with
| Code: |
//*SORT FIELDS=COPY
OPTION COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(1,7,ZD,TO=BI,LENGTH=4)
|
the job got abended with code 16 i.e.ICE010A 0 NO SORT OR MERGE CONTROL STATEMENT
So I hav removed the comment and tried so it worked fine.
| Code: |
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OPTION COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(1,7,ZD,TO=BI,LENGTH=4)
|
But now i have tried with either of the statement OPTION COPY or SORT FIELDS=COPY like
| Code: |
OPTION COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(1,7,ZD,TO=BI,LENGTH=4)
|
OR
| Code: |
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(1,7,ZD,TO=BI,LENGTH=4)
|
So both ran successfully.
So I think the problem in 1st execution was the commented statement.
So we should not use any commented statement in DFSORT. 
Thanks all of you for your prompt reply. |

DFSort has its own comment statement. //* is comment for JCL and you had specified that inside your sort control card.
Please Read comment here
