Could you please explain the EDIT option in DFSORT, for example the following format:

EDIT=(SI,III,III,IIT.TTT),SIGNS=(,-),

Regards,

Devi.

The EDIT option of DFSORT is fully explained in Chapter 3 of "z/OS DFSORT Application Programming Guide". Use this link:

publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/ICE1CA10/3.13?DT=20050222160456

then find the following:

p,m,f,edit

Explanation of your example:

EDIT=(SI,III,III,IIT.TTT),SIGNS=(,-),

SI,III,III,IIT.TTT is the edit pattern.

S indicates a sign.

I indicates a leading insignificant digit. If zero, this digit will not be shown.

T indicates a significant digit. If zero, this digit will be shown.

SIGNS gives the signs to use for S. In this case, blank is used as the leading sign for a positive value and - is used as the leading sign for a negative value.

The commas and period appear where shown.

Some examples:

Code:

Value (FS)         Editted as
+1234567890123      1,234,567,890.123
-1234567890123     -1,234,567,890.123
           +25                  0.025
      -5678901             -5,678.901
             0                  0.000
          -123                 -0.123
       +123456                123.456
