This could be your sort card.
Assumed both are character fields.
In my assumption, what they might be telling is... first sort on the field
start with postion 6... and then SORT on the field starting postion 1.
You need to send a query to the person who has raised this task.
Code: Select all
SORT FIELDS=(6,10,CH,A,1,2,CH,A)

Thank you Natarajan.. This is what I wanted ! but I guess the second parameter should be the length of the field ..and so it will be
Code: Select all
SORT FIELDS=(6,5,CH,A,1,2,CH,A)

sumana.jayaram,
If you're not familiar with DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, I'd suggest reading through "z/OS DFSORT: Getting Started". It's an excellent tutorial, with lots of examples, that will show you how to use DFSORT, DFSORT's ICETOOL and DFSORT Symbols. You can access it online, along with all of the other DFSORT books, from:
