It may just be a Listserv artifact but when I copied you sample into a fixed width editor the data did not align with your columns. VOLSER started in 49, not 47; FILESZ ended in 66 (65 if you don't count the K), not 63 (62).

Using DFSORT, I am trying to produce a file that will have one record by high level qualifier, with the number of files and the total used space without and with compression. My problem is that the sum of used and the sum of compressed space are wrong. Not only they are showing the exact same value (and the input values are very different), as the value for the situations in which there is only one data set for the HLQ is way different from the input file for that dataset. Sample of the input file: ----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6----+----7----+ PRODHLA1.FDX967 VOL335 195035K 71303K Sample of the output file for that dataset: PPRDXI 1 1.077.952.576 1.077.952.576 KB So, this are my DFSORT control statements: //SYMNAMES DD * ASA,1,1,CH DSNAME,*,44,CH SKIP,1 VOLSER,*,6,CH SKIP,1 FILESZ,*,10,UFF * USED SPACE SKIP,2 CMPRSZ,*,10,UFF * USED COMPRESSED SPACE SKIP,1 <snip> I have been looking at these for so long that I must be looking straight into the error without seeing it.
