The C sign for plus and D sign for minus would be treated correctly as the sign for each individual PD field with the second method, but would not be recognize as the sign the first method. _________________ Frank Yaeger - DFSORT Development Team (IBM)

But, Frank, why is 1,7,PD not treated as 'invalid' PD field in this particular example? A SUM FIELDS on this field does result in S0C7. _________________ ALL opinions are welcome.

Cogito,
DFSORT's SUM processing uses instructions which result in an 0C7 for an invalid PD value.
DFSORT's SORT processing does not use any instructions which result in an 0C7 for an invalid PD value. The invalid sign or digit is just treated as bits. _________________ Frank Yaeger - DFSORT Development Team (IBM)
