Hi,
does byte 2 of the input data only contain the 26 letters of the alphabet and numbers 0-9.
The reason I'm asking is that are other values between A thru Z.

Expat,
It Worked thanks
Gcicchet,
Yes It may contain Alphabets as well numbers, but i need only the records which are having 2 byte as alphabets.
Expat solution worked for me. |

This simpler DFSORT INCLUDE statement would work too:
| Code: |
INCLUDE COND=(2,1,FS,NE,NUM)

| Frank's solution is most likely the best, but if you used expat's taking into account Gerry's post, you could split up the A-Z range into 3 ranges of A-I, J-R, and S-Z to eliminate those "extra" characters. |

| Note that the NUM solution actually includes anything other than '0'-'9'. If only 'A'-'Z' is to be included, then the NUM solution won't work. Guess it depends on what Mazhar means by "Alphabets" - I took it to mean any non-numeric, not just 'A'-'Z'. |

The COBOL definition of the ALPHABETIC class is A-Z and space. |
