This is my input file
| Code: |
CUST TYPE
1234567 9406 0
1234567 9406 1
1234567 9406 2
1234567 9406 3
1234567 9406 10
1234567 9406 11
1234567 9406 12
1234567 9406 18
6015154 9406 19
6015154 9406 20
6015154 9406 21
6015154 9406 22 |
I wanna retrieve all records with CUST 1234567(assume that file is sorted) and store it some place and process those records . Later I should switch to 6015154 records for processing ...
I was told that using GET STRING we can get bunch of records based based on key.. but it is not working .. I coded as mentioned below..
READ FILE(SYSIN) INTO (INP);
GET STRING(CUST);
Help me guys.. |

Hello Naveen,
Not sure what you are asking about . please see the syntax for GET STRING statement -
GET-STRING (expression) data-specification
From your example, I could only think of the below to get the customer number:
If you have read one record to STR1, then the below statemnet will extract customer number from STR1:
DCL cust_no char(7) init ('');
GET STRING(str1) LIST(cust_no);
let me knw if you have got any other way .
Regards,
Appu |
