Hi Friends,
A cobol program writes a file in which a field's pic is S9(5)V9(4).
So the file has value like 00021945{. I want to convert this using sort so that the sign of the field comes seperately like 000219455-.
I can't change the program. I need to do this in sort.
thanks for all ur help in advance |

Hi all,
Found the answer myself.
using outfil outrec with edit and sign field will solve this problem
OUTFIL OUTREC=(1:1,9,ZD,EDIT=(STTTTTTTTT),SIGNS=(+,-,,)) |

I'm glad you figured it out yourself. But just for clarification so other people aren't confused:
These two statements don't match up. The first one says you want a trailing sign, but the edit mask you show is for a leading sign. If you really want a trailing sign, then the edit mask would be:
| Code: |
EDIT=(TTTTTTTTTS),SIGNS=(,,+,-)
