Hi
I have a field with 500 occurences of PICX(10).Now every occurence should start with 1-9 where 7 and 8 cant be repeated.That means 7 and 8 can be used only once..but anywhere and at any place.
for example.
1/some data
2/some data
2/ some data
3/some data
5/some data
6/some data
5/some data
5/some data
8/some data
7/some data
Thanks

You need to paste some actual sample data..
what sample you have given is confusing.
you are saying

|
But in sample its looking like nos 1-9 are coming only in first place.
does no always followed by '/' ?
Is file is already sorted?
please clarify. |

Yes...
1) position of the numbers (1-9) is fix and they are always followed by a '/'
2) We do not need to sort file here.
3 By saying "That means 7 and 8 can be used only once..but anywhere and at any place. " ... i mean at any occurence between 1-500.
Regards

As i mentioned...
Input is a array field with 500 occurences.[ pic X10 occurs 500 times]
Output should be a error message if the validation(that is if second occurence of 7 or 8 is found in the first position) fails
Input field is coming from Database[adabas].
Please tell me if you need any other info |

Hello,
Define 2 indicators in ws - one for "found-7" the other for "found-8".
Loop thru the array looking for a 7 or an 8. When either is found, check if the indicator is already set as having found this value previously. If already found - it is an error. If not already found, set the indicator that this value has been found.
The loop should end whenever there is an error or the end of the array is reached. |

| I would use Dick's solution but would replace the indicators by tallies. Increment the appropriate tally when encountering a 7 or 8 and display these tallies at end of program. End the program however you want to depending on the values of the 2 tallies. |
