I don't think that includes ibmmainframes.com which is a "sister" site to this one, but the Administrator can correct me if I'm wrong.

Anyway, for the record, the DFSORT control statements for this task would be something like this:

Code: Select all

  OPTION COPY
  INREC BUILD=(1,80,SQZ=(SHIFT=LEFT))
