Data Fields (D) Entry
Data fields are fields you want the program to include in the output
records but not use in sorting those records. The entry applies only to
Record-out sorts. Within the Field Description lines of each Record Type
section, control field lines must be placed before data field lines.
When your file contains more than one Record Section:
* All Sections are not required to have the same number of data fields.
* Output data lengths do not have to be the same for all Sections.
XSORT will place blanks to the right of shorter records to equalize
lengths up to the output record length defined in Header
Specifications columns 29-32.
