Resolution:

The error is not with the ZD operator which is really a field TYPE. On the first line of the OMIT the filed type was omitted so sort is looking for operators not field TYPES in this postion.

To fix the error you must add the CH field type or the correct field TYPE to the first three OMIT CONDITIONS in this case that would be CH and the format would look like this.

SORT FIELDS=(3,10,CH,A)

RECORD=(F,450)

OMIT COND=((1,2,CH,EQ,C'50'),OR,(1,2,CH,EQ,C'52'),OR,(1,2,CH,EQ,C'51',AND,
