control field beyond record:
SORT FIELDS=(150,4,4,4,A,158,17,A),FORMAT=BI
MODS. E35=(SORTEX,20000,STEPLIB)
END
There are a number of records less than 158
Thanks

I assume that your records are V not F format (since they are not all
the same length). One trick to solve the issue might be to also have
an E15 exit which inspects the records and if they are shorter than
174 bytes long (the last sort field sorts on bytes 158-174) pads them
to that length. How this will affect the programs that read the
sorted file is a separate issue (if they care about those fields).
