Suppose I have a file with three fields with data in the
following format
1. empid - S9(4) COMP
2. empname - X(20)
3. empsal - S9(5)V(2) COMP-3
If I view this file, it will not be in a readable format.
How to display the empid and empsal fields in a readable
format without using COBOL program? What kind of SORT card
will have to be coded?

We can use a SORT utility in JCL. In the SYSIN DD statement, we need to use the OUTREC FIELDS in the below format,
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS = COPY
OUTREC FIELDS =(1,4,BI,TO=ZD,
5,20,
21,4,PD,M4)
/*
NOTE - Please refer the below link (Chapter 5) for reformatting records using SORT.
