Manoj,

You have been in this board for more than a year and you must have seen Kolusu Requesting/Shouting - to use meaningful topics. Using the forum name "Sort" or "Sort Help" is not a meaningful topic and will be of no use for others who search for similar queries in future.

The answer to your query is available here (Change PGM=ICETOOL to PGM=SYNCTOOL for syncsort)

Thanks,

You should be able to use the UFF format:
Unsigned free format. Decimal digits (0-9) are extracted from right
to left to form a number value. All non-decimal digit values in the
field are ignored. A maximum of 31 digits can be provided. When
more than 31 digits are found in the field, the leftmost digits will be
ignored.

Manoj,

UFF requires the latest version of Syncsort (v 1.2 and above). What version of syncsort are you using ?

Thanks,
Phantom
