If you know the possible values that this position can cantian you can filter the file, else
give more details on the fields that you need to check |

Define Junk values !
What you deem as junk can be perfectly valid for another forum member.
Had you have looked at ways to do this yourself in the forum, there are many many excellent examples of using your sort product to do this. Matching records from two files perhaps, or maybe using INCLUDE / OMIT conditions.
And if, as I suspect, you ask for a sort solution, please find out which sort product is used at your site and tell us before someone else wastes their valuable time coding and testing something that will not work with the sort product that you use. |

Akash,
If by junk values, you mean non-numeric PD values, you can use DFSORT control statements like this:
| Code: |
OPTION COPY
OMIT COND=(p,3,PD,NE,NUM)
|
Use 41 for p if that includes the RDW in positions 1-4. Otherwise, use 45 for p. |
