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

Kolusu

For the record, these control statements work fine with DFSORT's Dec, 2004 PTF since it supports larger fields and constants.

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).
