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)???

Let's discuss what are all formats we have in sort
X/A - CH
Comp - BI
Comp-3- PD
9 - ZD/CH
So, Here we need to calculate how many bytes does the field
S9(10)comp-3 occupies.
10/2 + 1 = 5 + 1 = 6 bytes
Say field start's @ position 10then the sort command would
be like this..
Sort fields=(10,6,PD,A/D)
Hope this clarifies
