pkrish18,
As far as I know Syncsort does not have the ability of converting an 8 byte Signed fixed point (FI) . The conversions only work with 1-4 bytes for FI and BI fields.
Hope this helps...
Cheers

For the record, these control statements work fine with DFSORT's Dec, 2004 PTF since it supports larger fields and constants. _________________ Frank Yaeger - DFSORT Development Team (IBM)

Thx a lot Kolusu and yaeger for your kind reply....
Can you pls tell me how to differentiate a DFSORT from SYNCSORT.
I believe that,we invoke the sort utility by a SORT command....
But How can I know exactly whether I'm using a SYNCSORT or a DFSORT.
In other words, how do I ensure that I'm using SYNCSORT or DFSORT.
Thanks inadvance for your inputs..
Regards,
Krish |

Krish,
The WER messages (e.g. WER271A) indicate you're using Syncsort. With DFSORT, you would get ICE messages (e.g. ICE000I). _________________ Frank Yaeger - DFSORT Development Team (IBM)
