Hello *,

maybe there is one of the early adopters auf z/OS 2.4 around. DFSORT at level 2.4 has got support for UNIX Regular Expressions for INCLUDE and OMIT (as ISPF already did) but I was unable to find in the documentation what Codepage has to be used for special Characters. It seems that CP1047 is to be the right one but some confirmation would be welcome.

Pittsburgh Share mentioned

Regular expressions in INCLUDE and OMIT statements

and the next two dot points said

    Unicode data formats UTF-8, UTF-16 & UTF-32 in OMIT and INCLUDE statements
    ASCII free format numeric data in SORT, MERGE, INCLUDE and OMIT statements


Possibly not helpful given LOCALE is also mentioned in the doc. icon_wink.gif

I tried with LOCALE but that doesn't DFSORT accept. It terminates with RC=16 and shows that the RE operand is invalid. Looks a bit strange to me.
Code:
//DFSPARM  DD *       
  LOCALE=DE_DE.IBM-273
/*                     

Output:
Code:
INCLUDE COND=(6,5,SS,RE,C'Ý +¨?Ý0-9¨ä1,5ü')
                     $                     

PS: The garbage in the expression works for my setup when I comment the LOCALE setting.

It seems that always Codepage IBM-1047 has to be used for the RegEx within DFSORT. The result was the expected one once I fiddled that out.
