Answer / sudeep
I think the answer written by Kavya is not fully correct.It
will cause the sort to stop after first 200 records in the
input file are sorted.But we want the input file to be
sorted completely.and first 200 records to be placed in
output file.

If a field is declared as a comp-3 field and if we want to sort a dataset based on this field, then how will the sort card be??? e.g- if we want to sort by a field which is defined as a PIC X(5) then we will mention - sort fields=(1,5,ch,a). Likewise if a field is defined as PIC S9(10)COMP-3 then in this case how will the sort field be defined (because in this case a sign is also involved)???
