I am trying to copy a few records from a VB file to a FB file by including some conditions. In the sort card, I am using this:

Code:
OPTION COPY                                               
OUTFIL FNAMES=SORTOUT,VTOF,INCLUDE((10,3,CH,EQ,C'PHD',OR, 
                    18,3,CH,EQ,C'PHD',OR,                 
                    10,3,CH,EQ,C'PHH',OR,                 
                    18,3,CH,EQ,C'PHH',OR,                 
                    10,3,CH,EQ,C'PHJ'),AND,               
                   (1,1,CH,EQ,X'AD'))                   
But I am not able to see the records that have AD (hex) in the first position of the VB file copied into the FB file. The job runs successfully but its not copying the records that have AD in the first position. Please help.

As far as I can make out of your post, you should change this
Code:
(1,1,CH,EQ,X'AD'))
to
Code:
(5,1,CH,EQ,X'AD'))


Hopefully, RDW was considered for other sort statements.

PS.: Please learn to use BBcode Tags, I've edited your post to add them.

Though I've edited your post but the original Sort statements were missing "=" after INCLUDE so I did not add that. Hopefully, that's a typo from your side.

Thank you Anuj, It worked, and also I understand I have to use 14,3,CH,EQ,C'PHD' instead of 10,3,CH,EQ,C'PHD'. because we have to consider RDW

I don't know if it is just me, but this I find much easier to read. Not only change the 1 and 10, but the 18 as well.

Code:
OPTION COPY                                               
OUTFIL FNAMES=SORTOUT,
       VTOF,
       INCLUDE=((5,1,CH,EQ,X'AD')
               AND,               
                (14,3,CH,EQ,C'PHD',
                OR, 
                 22,3,CH,EQ,C'PHD',
                OR,                 
                 14,3,CH,EQ,C'PHH',
                OR,                 
                 22,3,CH,EQ,C'PHH',
                OR,                 
                 14,3,CH,EQ,C'PHJ'))

Ideally I would move the INCLUDE cards to the input phase so that you would read less number of records. You also need to provide the position and length when using VTOF. try the following control cards.

Code:

//SYSIN    DD *                                     
  OPTION COPY,VLSCMP                               
  INCLUDE COND=(5,1,CH,EQ,X'AD',AND,               
                (14,3,SS,EQ,C'PHD,PHH,PHJ',OR,     
                 22,3,SS,EQ,C'PHD,PHH'))           
                                                   
  OUTFIL VTOF,BUILD=(5,n)

**  where n = your vb lrecl - 4                         
//*
