otherwise if return code for any of the previous 16 steps
is greater than 4, then step17 should be bypassed. How do I

| 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???

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)??? | | 5 |
