Hi,
My dataset starts in column 1, but, whatever I do in SYSIN DD *, the result starts in column 2.
Is this the normal behaviour?
Thank you.

This question is just as meaningless as asking "What's the difference between a crocodile?"

kkkkkk
I didn't show the JCL because it adds nothing. But as you weren't capable to understand, here it is:
//OMIT EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=dsname,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
OMIT COND=(57,5,CH,EQ,C'BUSIN')
SORT FIELDS=(1,31,CH,A)
/*
... and the result starts in column 2 instead of 1.

Your JCL doesn't show any result.

Your SORTOUT is going to SYSOUT. Are you asking why, in SDSF or whatever, the first character in your output dataset is in column 2 on the screen when you look at it rather than print it?

Are you aware that on a mainframe, a SYSOUT=* file reserves the first byte for print carriage control and hence there will not be any of your data in column one -- EVER? If you are not aware of this basic mainframe fact, then you need a serious attitude adjustment since you have YEARS of things to learn. If you are aware of this basic mainframe fact, why did you post a question?

AHA.
So simple to answer and it shows that there were no need for the JCL here. As I said:

Yes, it is.

Actually, since it is extremely unusual to use SYSOUT for a SORTOUT, without posting the JCL as you did it would have taken MUCH longer to figure out the issue.
