Ravi,
Your question is too vague for a detailed answer. How you would do what you want with DFSORT depends on what your input field looks like and what you want the output to look like.
For an overview of the information you're looking for, see the topics "Reformatting: Numeric Editing" and "Reformatting: Numeric Conversion" in my "DFSORT: Beyond Sorting" paper at:
www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=114&uid=isg3T7000091
For complete details of DFSORT's conversion functions, see "z/OS DFSORT Application Programming Guide" at:
www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=114&uid=isg3T7000080
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. |

SORTBEYOND was the 'tight' little reference I needed to convince my people to stop putting off SORT.
they are so used to generating a quick cobol program to do some little data manipulating task - that it was downright frustrating.
and to be honest, it is hard to motivate someone to open the REF Manual.
but this was the intro that was needed.
thx for the post. |

Dick,
I'm happy to hear "DFSORT: Beyond Sorting' was of use to you. I originally had it published as a shorter article for a Magazine. I later turned it into a longer paper and kept it up to date over the years. Glad I did. |
