gans79,

You have sign leading numbers which cannot be summed using ZD format. You need to use SFF format . Check this link for example

SSF does not work with syncsort , is there any workaround ?

Brian Wood · Posted: Tue Jul 14, 2009 10:16 am Post subject:

gans79: You can use INREC to convert the SFF data to ZD. You can then SUM on the ZD data. Please refer to pages 2.127 through 2.132 in the SyncSort for z/OS 1.3 Programmer's Guide for information on the topic "Converting Numeric Data". Also refer to the example on page 2.172.

gans79: Please also note, in the previously provided coding example, that the results of the SUM processing are in ZD format. You could then use OUTREC with an EDIT mask to display the data in printable format if so desired (see pages 2.142 through 2.148 in the SyncSort for z/OS 1.3 Programmer's Guide).
