1) SORT FIELDS=(20,4,CH,D,10,3,CH,D)
OUTREC FIELDS=(7:20,4,C' FUTURE ',20,2,10,3,1Z,1,9,13,7,
24,57,TRAN=LTOU,6X'FF')
This example illustrates how a fixed-length input data set
can be sorted and reformatted for output. The SORTIN LRECL
is 80 bytes.
The reformatted output records are fixed length with a
record size of 103 bytes. SOLRF (the IBM-supplied default)
is in effect, so unless the SORTOUT LRECL is specified or
available, it will automatically be set to the reformatted
record length of 103.
in the above example i have some doubts that
a) sort fields=(20,4,CH,D,10,3,CH,D) -what exactly it does
and this fields related to output record fields or input
record fields
b)outrec used to refprmat the records after sorting that
means
could please reply me as soon as possible
Thanks.

Answer / kiran
As per the sort card,
1. Sort statements get executed on input file - System
sorts all the records on 20,4 in decending order and then
10,3 in decending order.
2. Sorted records write to the o/p based on the out rec
formatting.
3. As mentioned in the question, the LRECL mentioned in the
sortout will not efect the output file record length.
