please specify better Your requirement,
I sincerely do not see how it is cobol related,
I guess that it might be more an ISPF issue
for column selection nothing You can do
for line/row selection/display something along
EXC ALL; F "1234" 6 10 ALL
might give the expected result |

Thnx for it enrico. for row selection that was helpful.
The first query-Suppose this is my dataset view.
+----5----+-
************
0424145171BB
0424145171BB
036383000000
0424145171BB
0424145171BB
Now I only want to see col 45-47 data to clearly distinguish it from the rest. I need it cos I have to sum up a field of some specific rows.
Hope its clear. |

Hello,
I too am confused how this relates to cobol. . .
Your requirement is most unclear. . .
If you want to look at only certain fields in certain records, you can easily read the file and copy the selected portions you want to work with to another file with plenty of spaces between the values for ease of readability. |

will take care of this in future.i understand its an ispf issue and not a cobol one. you can move it.
but my doubt is still the same..how am I going to select particular column range, say stuff in col 1-10 of my dataset I want to pick, like we do for rows.
As enrico says, perhaps there is no way.
Am sorry if its still unclear. |

If you really believe you need this, suggest you can write the above mentioned code to separate the values. . . .
Using COLS (as your sample data shows) will easily let you see which positions contain which values. |

| ISPF has a function called formats that can do what you want. I think it is really designed for displaying double byte languages but it can work for what you want. I've seen people do what you are asking with it but I don't know how to do it because I never needed to. From what I remember, you define a format, then on the edit panel you specify that format and it shows the columns you specified in the format. Option 11 on the ISPF utility panel. |

You can make use of FileAid to get what you want.Before that you have to define a dummy copybook having field for those particular columns.
e.g. If your input is
+----5----+-
************
0424145171BB
0424145171BB
036383000000
0424145171BB
0424145171BB
Now define a copybook having
01 filler pic x(44).
01 dummy pic x(3).
Then open your dataset using Fileaid and the above copybook in VFMT mode.And you will get the desired result. |

If you really want a particular column range to be more easily viewed, you could do the following, but keep in mind, you'll want to CANCEL when done (not SAVE) or do this on a copy of your original data set:
| Code: |
| C P'=' ' ' 11 80 ALL |
This assumes you're interested in columns 1-10 only of an 80-byte record. |

Hi,
PF1 will give you alll you need to know.
here is a snapshot
| Code: |
TUTORIAL --------------------- 'CHANGE' STRINGS ---------------------- TUTORIAL
COMMAND ===>
A picture string is used to describe the type of string to be changed
instead of the exact characters to be changed.
Example - ===> chg all p'¬' 'x' 72 change all non-blanks in column
72 to the character "x"
A picture string is a quoted string that is preceded or followed by the
letter "P". It can contain blanks, alphabetic and numeric characters
which represent themselves, or any of the special characters listed
below, each of which represents a class of characters.
The special characters that can be used in a "from" picture string are:
= - any character . - invalid characters
@ - alphabetic characters - - non-numeric characters
# - numeric characters < - lower case alphabetics
$ - special characters > - upper case alphabetics
¬ - non-blank characters
The special characters that can be used in a "to" picture string are:
= - any character < - lower case alphabetics
> - upper case alphabetics

Make sure you CANCEL out of the editor when doing this. Simply ending will destroy your data. |
