Hi,
I have a file with the following data.
STARTAA.......................
11............................
22............................
33............................
44............................
ENDAA.........................
STARTBB.......................
11............................
22............................
33............................
44............................
ENDBB.........................
STARTCC.......................
11............................
22............................
33............................
44............................
ENDCC.........................
Now I want to extract records starting with 'STARTBB' and ending with 'ENDAA' and all the records in between these two. |

Thanks for your responses!
Sorry for the wrong/incomplete information. Guess I was too hasty this time  .
What I wanted to ask is that I have the file which has several groups of data which spans across several record.
And I wanted to use syncsort to get only those records which belong to the same group.
STARTAA
1111
2222
3333
4444
ENDAA
This is a group of data which has 6 records.
(To avoid confusion I have removed dots. That was really unnecessary)
The only way to determine the start and end of the group is to check the first five characters 'START' in the first record
STARTAA
or 'END' in the last record
ENDAA
I know I can get the STARTAA and ENDAA by using IFTHEN. In this case how do I get the rest of records in the group? and I cannot use WHEN=GROUP of IFTHEN clause.
Sample File Record:
STARTAA
1111
2222
3333
4444
ENDAA
STARTBB
1111
2222
3333
ENDBB
STARTCC
1111
2222
3333
4444
5555
ENDCC
Desired Result:
STARTBB
1111
2222
3333
ENDBB |

Hello,
The release of Syncsort being used is not current.
Possibly, this can be upgraded to the current release? |

I assume this cannot be done by Syncsort or rather the older version of Syncsort.
Thanks for all the support. |
