What is the meaning of this SORT card?
input file attributes: SEQ,VB, LRECL 3704.
output file attributes: SEQ,VB, LRECL 3720.
I tested with 5 records in SORTIN and SYOUT=* as SORTOUT. the following error occurs. But it executes successfully in production with millions of records.

I created the i/p and o/p files with correct attributes. It runs successfully. The input data is right shifted by 8 positions and written in the output file. The first eight positions are filled with low values; but, they are not equal. I know that filling logic is in the SORT card, but I don't understand it. Please expain.
