//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=INPUT.DATA,DISP=SHR
//OUTDATA DD DSN=OUTPUT.DATA,DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE)

Step01 exec pgm=sort
.
.
.
sysin dd *
sort fields=copy
outfil fnames(out1,out2),split

first rec will be in out1 file, second in out2,third in
out1 and so on..

so out2 will have even number recs.

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)???
