Good day everyone, thought it should be an easy task, but missing something.
Need to convert a S9(10)V99 COMP-3 value to S9(9)V99 with a C or D sign bit in the last byte.
Used this in DFSOrt but losing a sign somewhere.

ramy2016,
DFSORT does indeed retain the sign. F is a positive sign. If you need C as positive sign you need to use ZDC instead of ZD as ZD or ZDF output, F is used as the positive sign and D is used as the negative sign. For ZDC output, C is used as the positive sign.
Also a 7 byte PD field can have upto 14 digits in display format. Why are you just limiting to 11?
