so please tell me how to give the sort card


INREC = ????
SORT FIELDS = (1,9,CH,A)
SUM FIELDS=(10,5,PD)

Those are the correct control statements if your sum won't exceed 9 digits. If you're worried about your sum exceeding 9 digits, you can use these controls statements to add 2 extra digits of zeros at the start of the sum field to extend it from 5 bytes (max of 9 digits) to 6 bytes (max of 11 digits):
