Hi

In the INCLUDE COND the basic syntax is (5,5,CH,EQ,C'ABDFE') i.e.
the value present in the position is given . I wanted to know if it is possible to check if the data in position 5 to 10 is numeric or character using INCLUDE COND.

You can use DFSORT's NUM function to determine if positions 5-10 are numeric or non-numeric:

For example, to include only records that are numeric, you can use this DFSORT statement:
