I'm trying to expand Packed decimals with SYNCSORT. One of the field in input file is declared as S9(15) COMP-3 - 8 byte packed decimal. When I tried to apply M0 or M16 it abends. But when I split the field into two like...
Code:
16,4,PD,ZD,C'~',   COMPLEX-DDA-CNTRL-SEQ
20,4,PD,ZD,C'~',           COMPLEX-DDA-CNTRL-SEQ

the job runs successfully, but giving an output like
Code:
~000000.~020628G~
~000000.~020721D~

When I try to apply a edit mask to 20,4,PD,ZD,C'~' part, I'm getting a S0C7. Is there any upper limit(in length) for expanding padked decimals? or am I missing out on something? Rolling Eyes
