Hi,
I am using IFTHEN=WHEN(logical exp) to process set of records.
I only want the records matching my criteria to be written to the output.
I want to ignore the records which do not match my selection.
How can this be achieved? How can i skip records in IFTHEN(WHEN=NONE)? |

| Why not use INCLUDE/OMIT? |

Suggest you consult the DFSORT manuals. At least you'll learn something about IFTHEN, considering your first suggestion. |

girishbs13,
IFTHEN cannot remove records. You need INCLUDE/OMIT for that. |

If you have a new question, you should have started a new topic.
If you search the forum for SYMNAMES you might find some samples which help. |

if IFTHEN can omit records, then i can use two IFTHEN statements, firstly, place the date3 into the record, secondly, include records i need based on the field that has value date3..
IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,
BUILD=(X,Y,DATE3),HIT=NEXT),
IFTHEN=(WHEN=(X,Y,ZD,EQ,X+Y,7),
...
but i can not.  |

OK, tomorrow pls, I'm home now, 
this statement can not pass syntax check:
INCLUDE=(1,7,ZD,EQ,DATE3)
Is there any syntax error? |

the error reported is invalid comparison.if You had looked at the DFSORT manual You would have notice that DATA3 is char, not a ZD

an
| Code: |
| INCLUDE=(1,7,CH,EQ,DATE3) |

| If you had read the whole thread you would have noticed that Frank stated that IFTHEN cannot OMIT/INCLUDE reords - you need to use OMIT/INCLUDE |
