Below are 2 sort conditions
INCLUDE COND=(100,5,CH,EQ,C'XXXXX'),
and
INCLUDE COND=(100,5,SS,EQ,C'XXXXX').
Actually CH would mean a character to be checked, so if we give a look to the first statement it looks to be incorrect as we need a string to be checked instead of a character,but we are giving CH in the condition statement, but could anyone tell me what do we mean by 'SS' in place of CH?
Is it the one to check for Strings?? |

| SS is a substring search where you can specify a search parameter which is shorter than the field length to be searched. |

five characters togather makes string which is to be compared with. So statement is correct.

In this case it will behave same as giving CH as you are specifying 100,5 which is length 5 and c'xxxxx' also has lenght 5.
SS is used for substring e.g.
INCLUDE COND=(1,200,SS,EQ,C'XXXXX').
all the records in which XXXXX is appeared anywhere in col 1 to 200 will be included. |
