Hi,

I have a field with definition 9(7)V9(3). Need to convert it to S9(7)V9(3) COMP-3.

Could you please specify how it can be done?

You specify your fields as ZD (Zoned Decimal) of 10 bytes (SORT does not know about decimal places). You specify a TO=PD to convert (to Packed Decimal) and you give the LENGTH= of the field you desire (which is five).

Did you mean six for TO LENGTH?
