You're not really going to a ZD are you?
If you can find a zero-suppressing edit mask, give it a length of 11 and then JFY LEFT the field, that should do it. Your data type is Signed Free Form (SFF) if you want to use the CHAR as a number. You'll end up with another SFF, but that is what you want. |

Please when posting data put it in the Code tags, which preserve spacing. Use the Preview button and adjust until you are happy it represents your data accurately.
Now, is this another requirement or is it the first one restated as it actually is?
What is the length of your input field? Is it fixed, or variable? If variable, is the only variance the presence or absence of the "-"?
If you already have the leading zeros and you just want more, I'd be inclined to use a BUILD to just add the extra zeros. Exactly what that would be depends on your answers. |

You can use a DFSORT job like the following to do what you asked for:
| Code: |
//S1 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
0010790
0020152
0021656
-0000488
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
INREC BUILD=(1,8,SFF,EDIT=(STTTTTTTTTTT),SIGNS=(,-))
|
SORTOUT would have:
| Code: |
00000010790
00000020152
00000021656
-00000000488

Why don't you post the complete requirement? We would provide you with a single solution without any conversion or intermediate output.
Please provide the following details.
1. What is the requirement - what exactly should the output look like for your input example?
2. What is the LRECL and RECFM of the input and output files?
3. What is the position and format of the field to be summed? |
