Jack, That is a standard Y4U format date in DFSORT. So something like this will convert to Gregorian format (CCYY-MM-DD) and if you want it in Julian date then use TOJUL instead of TOGREG P,Y4U,TOGREG=Y4T(-), where P = position of the date field Here is the link to the description of Y4U https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.3.0?topic=descriptions-dfsort-data-formats As for allocated space field it is simple Binary field, So depending on the size you can convert it to readable format P,M,BI,M10,LENGTH=12 where P = position of the allocated space field and M = length of the field ( 4 or 8) and M10 is an edit mask with leading zeros suppressed and the output is a readable format field of 12 bytes. You can control the width of the display by changing the length. DISPLAY operator of DFSORT can report the value in MB or in GB also. Hope this helps..
