Hi All,

I am trying to create a file using DFSORT which will be input to a COBOL Program. There are some numeric fields with leading spaces, which need to be formatted as S9(10)V99. I tried converting as TO=ZD, but it does not work as expected. I have shown the input and the desired output below.

Please help me with this.

Input:
Code:

       0.01


Desired Output:
Code:

00000000000A


Thanks
Prashanth

erasani,

use TO=ZDC which will give you the desired results.

Code:

OUTREC FIELDS=(63,12,SFF,TO=ZDC)
