Ranjish,
You need to use CSL or FS format for Sign seperate defined fields. For a table that shows the equivalent DFSORT formats for various COBOL data types, see the "What are the equivalent DFSORT formats for various COBOL data types?" Ask Professor Sort item at:

CSL is not supported for conversion (e.g. p,m,CSL,PD,... is NOT valid).
FS is supported for conversion (i.e. p,m,FS,PD,... is valid).
In addition, with z/OS DFSORT V1R5 PTF UQ95214 or DFSORT R14 PTF UQ95213 (Dec, 2004), the new SFF format is supported for conversion (i.e. p,m,SFF,PD,... is valid). For more information on SFF, see:
Whether you would use FS or SFF depends on exactly what your data looks like. _________________ Frank Yaeger - DFSORT Development Team (IBM)
