I'm trying to convert a packed date, format is MMDDYY PIC S9(6) COMP-3, to 0MMDDCCYY PIC X(9) using sort.
Here's the input and my error message:
| Code: |
0181
002C
103:78,4,Y2U,TOGREG=Y4T,
*
WER271A OUTREC STATEMENT : NUMERIC FIELD ERROR
WER211B SYNCSMF CALLED BY SYNCSORT; RC=0000
WER449I SYNCSORT GLOBAL DSM SUBSYSTEM ACTIVE |
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. |

| There is no p,4,Y2U comparison, simple as that. Only 2 or 3 are permissible values. |

Thanks Joerg.Findeisen!
I changed my code to:
| Code: |
| 103:78,4,Y2Y,TOGREG=Y4W, |
It works; however, it displays as MMDDCCYY (8-bytes) instead of 0MMDDCCYY.
But, I'm heading in the right direction.
Thanks again! |

Could you fix it? If so, how did you?  |

There is no way to get date value as 0MMDDCCYY. It is mainly out of common sense: I start my new job on 012112021?
Extra zero is only present in packed decimal (as well as decimal sign): X’012112021C’, but you don’t want this ‘C’ to be appended to your date; I hope so?
If you need this, add prefix 0 as constant C’0’ just before your (actual) date value. |
