For information on how you can use the TRAN=ALTSEQ option of DFSORT's INREC, OUTREC and OUTFIL OUTREC statements to change any character throughout a specific field or an entire record to another character (e.g. zero to blank, blank to asterisk, etc), see the "Change all zeros in your records to spaces" Smart DFSORT Trick at:

I fixed the original post. I've replaced various individual pages on the DFSORT website with pdf files which are easier to maintain, download, print, search, etc. I couldn't figure out a way to search for all of the broken links so I could fix them. Note that you can access anything on the DFSORT website from the "Product details" page at:

Ok. If you can get me the URLs then I can go ahead and fix them. Note that the affected pages are for Smart DFSORT Tricks, Ask Professor Sort, and Beyond Sorting.

Frank Yaeger,

Null means the value is unknown. What values do you want to check ? Post the value you want to check in hex
