//SYSIN DD *
OUTREC FIELDS=(1:C'SRCHFOR',9:C''')
SORT FIELDS=(10,5,CH,A)


Trying to get the above to work, SYNCSORT is blowing up on the 9:C''' part, all I am trying to do is have a leading tick mark.
Is there a special way this needs to ne coded?

TIA

Hello gtbdevs and welcome to the forums,

Instead of

9:C'''

try

9:X'7D'

Try it, that did the trick.

Thanks.

You're welcome
