Create a layout(copybook) of your PS file. This layout
will have fields defined in COMP-3/COMP format etc...
Open the file in EDIT mode in File Manager/File Aid and
start inserting records.
Suppose first field on your PS file is defined as S9(5)COMP-
3. Now open the file in File Manager/File Aid, and insert
appropriate value. e.g. -12345. Save and close file.
Now open the file again in CHAR MOD(i.e. simply browse the
file) and put HEX ON, you will see the value below.
135
24D
It will occupy only three byte.

Our issue is there seems to be a disconnect, or no link, between our SELECT statement and our SD. We had SELECT SORT-FILE and SELECT SORT-FILE ASSIGN TO SORTWRK. ASSIGN TO SORTWRK1 SORTWRK2 SORTWRK3 SORTWRK4. with SD SORT_FILE RECORD CONTAINS 7833 CHARACTERS. In either case, at run time, the system ignored our SORTWRK# DD statements and allocated 16 sort works with the SORTWK## naming convention. Any ideas why the system does not recognize the connection? We do not even need the SORTWRK DD statements. Thanks
