Does anyone know how to copy only some portion of the data for a selected criteria.

Eg : Input file contains data for 5 cols/variables
col1 col2 col3 col4 col5

But in the output i need only data for col1 col2 and col5, is it possible to do this in File Aid- Batch Mode

Output :
Col1 col2 col5

I think we can use the accum parameter.

ACCUM=(location,length,data-type[,'description'])>if I am wrong please correct me.
