I hope, in my last mail I have mention my problem clearly. I have to sort a column of the input File.
Say input File is
13245
1234
1563
So I have to specify the SYSIN card as
SORT FIELDS=(1,5,CH,A)
& the result should come as below.
1234
1563
13245
But it is coming like below.
1234
13245
1563
because it is padding the 4 digit number with zeros. But I don't want this.
I want to sort the field & and i'm expecting a result as
1234
1563
13245
So can anyone help me in this regards...

Hi Frank,
For me "UFF" is giving abend. It is giving U268 abend.
I think in our SHOP SYNCSORT release is not holding this format.
Is there any other way to do the above query? |

| UFF works fine with DFSORT. I'm a DFSORT developer. DFSORT and Syncsort are competitive products. I'm happy to answer questions on DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, but I don't answer questions on Syncsort. |

hi,
i can suggest you to use numbers of equal size. that is you itself pad zero's to the numbers in the left as that's the normal procedure to do.e.g
if you want to sort the following numbers
1
13
155
12345
then mention it like
00001
00013
00155
12345
if there is any other way if you have come across means update us.
Thanks,
Bala |

hi shiv,
can you tell what 'FS' stands for? And what are all the other options we can use for that?
Thanks,
Bala |

FS will NOT work definitely if you have no records with 4 or more characters in your input file. Always test the extremes!
eg try this
132
15
12
with
SORT FIELDS=(1,5,FS,A)
I get;
132
15
12
ie the same order as input
I don't know why maybe Frank can explain.
Use Frank's method he knows best. |

FS is NOT appropriate for this kind of data. FS extracts the digits from right to left. However, the first non-decimal digit (that is, 0-9) going from right to left is treated as the sign and anything else to the left of the sign is ignored. So for a value in positions 1-5, a blank in position 4 will give you a 0 value.
Thus, with 1,5,FS, here's how various values are interpreted:
| Code: |
12345 -> 12345
1234 -> 00000
123 -> 00000
12 -> 00000
1 -> 00000
|
If you sorted these values with (1,5,FS,A), you'd get:
| Code: |
1234
123
12
1
12345
|
Definitely not what you want.
UFF extracts the digits right to left wherever it finds them and ignores non-digits. So with 1,5,UFF, here's how the various values are interpreted:
| Code: |
12345 -> 12345
1234 -> 01234
123 -> 00123
12 -> 00012
1 -> 00001
|
If you sorted these values with (1,5,UFF,A), you'd get:
| Code: |
1
12
123
1234
12345
|
which is what you want. |
