X(11) is an 11-byte ZD field. COMP-5 is BI. You'd need an 8-byte BI field to hold an 11-byte ZD field, so the conversion with DFSORT would be something like:

Code:

  INREC BUILD=(...,p,11,ZD,TO=BI,LENGTH=8,...)


where p is the starting position of the ZD field.

For more information on numeric conversion with DFSORT, see:

For more information on COBOL vs DFSORT formats, see:
