Hi,
I have a sort field like this.

SORT FIELDS=(1,28,CH,A)
SUM FIELDS=(39,8,ZD)

Whenever there are duplicates in the input file in position 1-28, this sort ends in S0C7. Why is this happening? cant we sum up the values if file is having duplicates in the key field?

Thanks.

kanitha-mvs,

An invalid PD or ZD sign or digit results in a data exception (0C7 ABEND); 0-9 are invalid for the sign and A-F are invalid for the digit. For example, a ZD value such as 3.5 (X'F34BF5') results in an 0C7 because "." (X'4B') is treated as an invalid digit. ICETOOL's DISPLAY or VERIFY operator can be used to identify decimal values with invalid digits. ICETOOL's VERIFY operator can be used to identify decimal values with invalid signs.
