p2,m2,f2
These variables specify another field in the input record with which the p1,m1,f1 field will be compared. Permissible comparisons between compare fields with different formats are shown in Table 1 and Table 2.
AC, ASL, and AST formats sequence EBCDIC data using the ASCII collating sequence.
You can use p2,m2 rather than p2,m2,f2 if you use FORMAT=f to supply the format for the field.
