Hi All,
Could please help me in getting out a solution for the below query.
My requirement is to check for a non numeric field in a dataset and need to omit that record in the output dataset.
I used OMIT COND to eliminate the non-numeric record in the dataset. But i'm getting abend for it.
For example.
My Input dataset (lrec=9)
| Code: |
001234567
001234568
001234569
001234551
0B1234552 |
My output dataset (lrec=50) should be,
| Code: |
001234551
001234567
001234568
001234569 |

| Is "non-numeric" defined as "other than decimal digits" or are signs, separators, and leading spaces acceptable? Are these all a single field (i.e., can you guarantee that there will be no legitimate overpunches)? |

Hello,
Also, it will probably help us help you if you post the jcl and sort control statements used.
When posting these, please use the "Code" tag to preserve alignment and improve readability. |

Also i assure that it ll be only numeric records to be present in the output dataset as i have given an example before. |

Frank Yaeger,
I guess u speaking about using "NUM" field in sortcard.
something like...
| Code: |
| INCLUDE COND=(1,9,CH,EQ,NUM) |
But unfortunately its not working. I think the version i'm using is not compactable. |

Hello,
You are using Syncsort - not DFSORT. . . |

Which release of Syncsort is being used? The release info is at the top of the informational output generated by an execution. |

Hello,
Yes, that is the requested release info.
Suggest you read about NUM in the documentation. This is a bit of it:
| Quote: |
Use NUM to identify a field as numeric or non-numeric in CSF/FS, PD or ZD format. Specify
NUM with the field (p,l), format (CSF/FS, PD or ZD) and comparison operators (EQ or
NE), . . . . |

Ya Dick,
Its working. i used
| Code: |
| INCLUDE COND=(1,9,FS,EQ,NUM) |
The above code wil delete the record which has non-numeric data in it.
Is their an option, whether the deleted records could be written in another file. |

You should be able to define another output DD and use the SAVE feature to write these to another file.
Something like:
| Code: |
| OUTFIL FILES=02,SAVE |
