Hi,

I am searching an input file (LRECL=1092, RECFM=FB) using the SS option of SYNCSORT but not getting the output though the input file has got the values that should be written to output icon_exclaim.gif

Input:
Code:

1Y1SG 1Y1SG 1Y1SR 2Y1SR OY1ST TY1SG PY1ST JY1RS RY130 OY1ST
1Y1SG 1Y1SB 1Y1SR 2Y1SR OY1SB TY1SG PY1SB JY1RS RY130 OY1SB
1Y1SG 1Y1SO 1Y1SR 2Y1SX OY1SX TY1SX PY1SQ JY1RS RY130 OY1SY
1Y1SV 1Y1SN 1Y1SZ 2Y1SV OY1SN TY1SZ PY1SV JY1R1 RY131 OY1SZ


If I used below SYSIN card then I get expected result:
Code:

OPTION COPY
INCLUDE COND=(1,1092,SS,EQ,C'1ST')


Expected Result:
Code:

1Y1SG 1Y1SG 1Y1SR 2Y1SR OY1ST TY1SG PY1ST JY1RS RY130 OY1ST


But, If I used below SYSIN I am NOT getting the result:
Code:

OPTION COPY
INCLUDE COND=(1,1092,SS,EQ,C'1ST,1SX,1SB')


Expected Result:
Code:

1Y1SG 1Y1SG 1Y1SR 2Y1SR OY1ST TY1SG PY1ST JY1RS RY130 OY1ST
1Y1SG 1Y1SB 1Y1SR 2Y1SR OY1SB TY1SG PY1SB JY1RS RY130 OY1SB
1Y1SG 1Y1SO 1Y1SR 2Y1SX OY1SX TY1SX PY1SQ JY1RS RY130 OY1SY


Would you please help.

Thanks.

You need to code the OR parameter and search for each string individually.

Your code is looking for a string that consists of 1ST,1SX,1SB which is not there, so in fact, you are getting the expected results.

I thought if I give it like that it assumes OR condition but not AND. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Yes, this is incorrect. It is not a matter of AND or OR. Your code is looking for a string of '1ST,1SX,1SB'

You happened to pick code that had acceptable syntax, but had nothing to do with what you want to accomplish.

Hi,

U can use this

Code:

INCLUDE COND=(1,1092,SS,EQ,L(C'1ST',C'1SX',C'1SB'))


or

Code:

INCLUDE COND=(1,1092,SS,EQ,C'1ST',OR,
  1,1092,SS,EQ,C'1SX',OR,
  1,1092,SS,EQ,C'1SB')


Regards
R KARTHIK
