C'|',139,04,PD,EDIT=(STTTTT.TT),SIGNS(,-,,),

C'|',148,04,PD,EDIT=(STTTTT.TT),SIGNS(,-,,),
C'|',161,2,C'|',165,1,C'|',600,1,

The latest release of DFSORT is z/OS DFSORT V1R10 (for z/OS 1.10-1.11). That release supports all forms of the keyword/value syntax. For SIGNS, that would be
SIGNS(...) and SIGNS=(...).

Since you are getting a syntax error for SIGNS(...), you must be using z/OS DFSORT V1R5 (for z/OS 1.5-1.9). That release only supports SIGNS=(...), not SIGNS(...).

Here's the description of that change for z/OS DFSORT V1R10:

Quote:
DFSORT now allows additional syntactical forms for all of its PARM and control statement run-time parameters. Any parameter of the form keyword=value can now also be specified as keyword(value) or keyword=(value). Any parameter of the form keyword=(list) can now also be specified as keyword(list).


BTW, if you send me (yaeger@us.ibm.com) an e-mail requesting it, I will send you some documents that can help with the migration.

Thanks Frank! It works fine. We are in the midst of an upgrade to z/OS 1.11, currently we are 1.8. My systems guy just got the docs from you.

Good. Feel free to e-mail me directly if you have any questions about migrating.
