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)???

Answer Posted / y@$w@nth
PIC S9(10)COMP-3
(n+1)/2 i.e (10+1)/2 11/2 =6(it fill follow round approach
if the result is in decimals)
so comp-3 allocates 6 bytes and the data inside comp-3 field
is stored in packed decimal format then we have to give
sort fields=(1,6,pd,a)
(or)
sort fields=(1,6,a) format=pd
