Please specify the hardware, operating system and the sort product
being used.

Also include the sort control statements with the JCL or script used
to invoke it.

Please explain what you mean by a signed field and decimal format,
e.g. DISPLAY, NINARY, PACKED DECIMAL, NUMERIC-EDITED with COBOL style
PICTURE that would be used if it were in a COBOL program.

Some sample data showing what happens would also help, e.g. two or
three input records with the result of the summing process.
