Hello Antonio. I imply absolutely nothing about DFSORT and floating point.
As you have more than one value for that byte IFTHEN is probably the most appropriate for you... For X'44' multiply the rest of the field by one factor. For X'45' multiply by another. That will require the latest PTFs to provide IFTHEN and the arithmetic expressions capabilities. While you're at it I'd fill in from X'41' right through to X'4F' or whatever, and have an "otherwise" clause. IFTHEN can easily simulate SELECT WHEN ... DO ... END WHEN ... DO ... END OTHERWISE ... END The reason you need to do the subtraction is because eg SMF71CLA includes the page frames that are in SMF71CAA. They are "nested". And that requires the earlier PTF to do the maths.
