01 OP1 PIC 9(3) COMP-3 |
Input

Expected output
Equalent of 111 in comp-3 format |

Are you sure you want SORT to convert to packed-decimal (neutral), which has a sign-nibble of 'F' or to packed-decimal (signed), which has a sign-nibble of 'C'?
Based upon the COMP-3 picture-clause you've posted, you want packed-decimal neutral.
Are you sure about this?
If for whatever reason, a program later down the line, whose picture-clause is S9(03) COMP-3 issues (for whatever reason) a NUMERIC check against this data, it will fail, due to the 'F' sign-nibble. This is also vice-versa.

Do you want 2 byte PD or 3 byte PD after conversion? Since you have asked this in DFSort forum, one way of achieving the results would be to code OUTREC BUILD=(p,m,f,to=f,length=n).

PIC 9(3) is a 3-byte ZD value. PIC 9(3) COMP-3 is a 2-byte PD value. Assuming the field starts in position 1, you could use these DFSORT control statements to do the conversion:
| Code: |
OPTION COPY
INREC BUILD=(1,3,ZD,TO=PD,LENGTH=2)
|
That will give you a C for the positive PD sign. If you want an F for the positive PD sign, use TO=PDF. If you want a length of 3 for the output field, use LENGTH=3.
If you want something else, be more specific about what you want.
If you're not familiar with DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, I'd suggest reading through "z/OS DFSORT: Getting Started". It's an excellent tutorial, with lots of examples, that will show you how to use DFSORT, DFSORT's ICETOOL and DFSORT Symbols. You can access it online, along with all of the other DFSORT books, from:
