EVALUATE DSR-AA-APPL-ID ALSO DSR-AA-SYS-ID
WHEN '8' ALSO '2'
MOVE '1' TO DSR-AA-SYS-ID
MOVE 'G' TO DSR-AC-FLGE
MOVE SPACES TO DS41D032-DSR-ACCT-REC
WRITE DS41D032-DSR-ACCT-REC
FROM DSR-ACCT-REC

I havent used Evaluate with this Also statement.
Is this corect?

Thanks,

Hi karthikeyan ,

The form of EVALUATE you have given is correct.

EVALUATE A ALSO B ALSO C

WHEN '1' ALSO '2' ALSO '3'

do something......

means IF A=1 and B=2 and C=3... do something

Thanks
Arun
