Matched and unmatched record in diffrent file using ICETOOL

Hi All,

I am having a file with following record:

100NITIN 99999
144 SI9999
144ROHITSI9999
1 NITINBH9999

Here I want two diffrent files, one with matched record and other one with unmatched using ICETOOL.
The condition for matching is:
The 2nd and 3rd (2,2) bytes should not have spaces or zeroes and should be greater than 10. From 4 to next 5 bytes (4,5) should not have spaces. The 9th and 10th byte (9,2) should not have spaces.

The output will be
Matched record:
144ROHITSI9999

Unmatched record
100NITIN 99999
144 SI9999
1 NITINBH9999

I tried with discard option but it didn't work. The INCLUDE condition is only populating matched record.

Hello Nitin Bhargava,

2. why have you not used code tags?
3. what is the lrecl and recfm?
4. could you post your sort card and the o/p?
5. INCLUDE will only do what you ask it to do? So you are (might be) getting the "so-called-matched" records, correctly.

Pandora-Box has already provided the hint (solution).

Why didn't you answer the rest of the questions?

Hello,

Is there any business reason to use ICETOOL? No, it is not a "requirement". The requirement is getting the correct process run. Unless this is a training exercise and if so, you should mention this.

Why did you mention "match". A match requires 2 input file and 1 or more output files.
