the manuals of the sort product installed in your organization will tell all

the statements are simple enough that You can find out Yourself

to save You some of Your precious time here is a link to the DFSORT manuals
publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/Shelves/ice1sh50

even if DFSORT is not the product used in Your organization
the three statements You asked about have the same syntax and meaning in all the <sort> products

Hi enrico,

Please tell me if I am in the right way...

The syntax implies that..

It will sort the input file in ascending order from column 2 to 16 where the alphanumeric value of the input records starting from column 2 to column 4 is '002'

In the output file it will contain the records from column 2 to 4 of the input file and next to it 16 will be appended and again it will contain value from column 5 till 46 and then it will have 33 blankspace....???
