Hi,

Can any one pls provide the sort jcl for converting Signed binary value to Packed decimal? or (e-g)
Code:

//SYSIN    DD  *                 
  SORT FIELDS=COPY               
  OUTREC FIELDS=(1,144,           
          145,4,BI,PD,LENGTH=5,   
          149,4,BI,PD,LENGTH=5,   
          153,4,BI,PD,LENGTH=5,   
          157,4,BI,PD,LENGTH=5,   
              161,28)             
/*                               


The above stmt's executes fine for unsigned binary and giving the correct result...But for signed binary, it gives unpredictablevalue in the output.Pls advice...

Ranjish,

Use FI instead of BI. FI is a fixed point binary which is a signed field.
Code:

//SYSIN    DD  *                 
  SORT FIELDS=COPY               
  OUTREC FIELDS=(1,144,           
          145,4,FI,PD,LENGTH=5,   
          149,4,FI,PD,LENGTH=5,   
          153,4,FI,PD,LENGTH=5,   
          157,4,FI,PD,LENGTH=5,   
              161,28)             
/*                               


Hope this helps...

Cheers

Kolusu
