You can use DFSORT's PD0 format to check on the last 6 digits of a PD value. For example if you had a PD value in positions 1-5 with X'987123456C' and you wanted to check for 123456 as the last 6 digits you could use:
| Code: |
INCLUDE COND=(2,4,PD0,EQ,X'123456')
|
2,4 would be X'712346C'. Since PD0 ignores the first digit and the sign, you'd be checking for 123456 ignoring the 7 and the C. In general, the 2,4,PD0 value would be treated as X'iddddddi' where i is ignored and d is checked. |

What sort of check you wanted to do? Please show an example
Because i feel that, you can use the MOD function of DFSORT and do the task in single step, by extracting only the last 6 digits of the 8digit i/p. |
