Could some one please point me in the right direction for how to define a unsigned packed field "PIC 9(10) COMP-3." that I am trying to match with a ZD field. There are no syntax errors, but it wont pick up the match until I manually change the input record from unsigned to signed (below).
Code:

W1111     ?           
EFFFF004006002000000
6111120042F22F0F0000   <-- wont find
--------------------

W1111     %           
EFFFF004006002000000
6111120042C22C0C0000  <-- manually chged and does find

I have tried several combinations from here already
www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.3.0?topic=descriptions-dfsort-formats-cobol-data-types

This is my coding to OMIT a record from the input file and write that omitted record to another file and rewrite the original file without the omitted recd.
Code:
//STEP01  EXEC PGM=ICEMAN,PARM='CORE=MAX'
//SORTIN  DD Input-file
//OUT1    DD Output-file1
//OUT2    DD Output-file2
//SYMNAMES  DD *
  KEY_LEN1,6
  SRTIN_KY1,6,6,PD     <-- problem here ?
  SORTIN_RECORD,1,80,CH
  JOIN_ID,*,1,CH
  OMIT_KEY1,2,10,ZD
  OMIT_KEY_PD1,*,6,PD  <-- problem here ?
/*
//SYSIN     DD *
 SORT FIELDS=COPY
 JOINKEYS F1=SORTIN,FIELDS=(SRTIN_KY1,A)
 JOINKEYS F2=OMIT,
          FIELDS=(OMIT_KEY_PD1,A)
 JOIN UNPAIRED,F1
 REFORMAT FIELDS=(F1:SORTIN_RECORD,?)
 OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT1,
         INCLUDE=(JOIN_ID,NE,C'B'),
         BUILD=(SORTIN_RECORD)
 OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT2,
         SAVE,
         BUILD=(SORTIN_RECORD)
/*
//OMIT  DD *
 2004004026
/*
//JNF2CNTL  DD *
 INREC OVERLAY=(OMIT_KEY_PD1:OMIT_KEY1,TO=PD,LENGTH=KEY_LEN1)
/*


Thank you for any advice you can give, besides manually chging the input file icon_lol.gif

Try to use the formats PDC/PDF. However, I don't know if that's accepted by SYNCSORT.

This issue is neither JCL, nor VSAM.

Move the topic to appropriate group.

SYNCSORT:

Quote:
The PDC format represents a PD field and uses a C for the sign of a positive value and D for the sign of a negative value. The ZDC format represents a ZD field and uses a C for the sign of a positive value and D for the sign of a negative value. PDF produces the same numerical value as PD, but uses an F for a positive sign and D for the sign of a negative value. ZDF produces the same numerical value as ZD, but uses an F for a positive sign and D for the sign of a negative value.
