Hi, Please suggest me if there is any way to reverse the numeric field using JCL SORT. For example : Field #Employee-Nr is numeric fields with lenght 10 and it contains data like 1234567890, I need to get the output as 0987654321.

I could think of using the OUTREC and reposition the field like below

OUTREC FIELDS=(10,01,09,01,08,01,07,01,06,01,05,01,04,01,03,01,02,01,01,01)

But it does looks good. Please suggest the another way of doing it.

Thanks,
Puru

I mean it does not look good as the lenght of the my actual field is 16. Do we have a another way of writing it instead of going with each byte.

No. A "reverse the characters" function is not available.
