Thanks Steve... I tend to believe also it is a mistake (typo maybe) and should state it is sorted on the ON positions. I'll check out this 'mini' guide.

It appears to me the example has a mistake: either they meant they sort on "positions 1-10", or the SPLICE statement should have "ON(1,3,CH)". This example is so trivial, it's hard to know for sure what they meant. But probably it's the former. There's a really helpful manual I found called "DFSORT: ICETOOL Mini-User Guide" (a misnomer -- full-sized users will find it valuable) by Frank L. Yaeger. My copy is dated October 2010. It came from the DFSORT Team in San Jose, so it should be available from IBM. sas On Wed, Oct 25, 2017 at 5:39 PM, George, William@FTB <bill.geo...@ftb.ca.gov> wrote: > I am confused about a statement I'm seeing in the DFSORT - ICETOOL Chapter > and its example: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ______________________________________________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email from the State of California is for the sole use of the intended recipient and may contain confidential and privileged information.
