Sorry for the delayed response - I was out of town on vacation (now I'm in town on vacation :) You can use the following control statements to do a case insensitive sort as explained in this ALTSEQ example from "z/OS DFSORT Application Programming Guide": http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/ICE1CA10/3.4.1.4?SHELF=&DT=20050222160456 SORT FIELDS=(p,m,AQ,A) ALTSEQ CODE=(81C1,82C2,83C3,84C4,85C5,86C6,87C7, 88C8,89C9,91D1,92D2,93D3,94D4,95D5,96D6, 97D7,98D8,99D9,A2E2,A3E3,A4E4,A5E5,A6E6, A7E7,A8E8,A9E9) p,m is the starting position and length of the sort field.
