Hi Jaspal,
It's not an optimal soution but u can get ur desired result using following sort card
| Code: |
OPTION COPY
INCLUDE COND=((1,1,CH,GE,C'a',AND,1,1,CH,LE,C'z'),
AND,(2,1,CH,GE,C'a',AND,2,1,CH,LE,C'z'),
AND,(3,1,CH,GE,C'a',AND,3,1,CH,LE,C'z')) |

Hello,

Where are 3 fields? I see only 1.
A to Z is not alphanumeric - it is alphabetic.
Please post a more complete example of your 3 fields and desired output. |

Jaspal,
If what you really want is the records where the first three characters are not numeric, you can use these DFSORT control statements:
| Code: |
OPTION COPY
INCLUDE COND=(1,3,FS,NE,NUM)
|
If you want something else, please explain in detail what you want (and don't confuse uppercase with lowercase if it matters). |
