I have not gone through all the replies but if you have never thought of Special Names then you may wants to look into it.
| Code: |
SPECIAL-NAMES.
CLASS WS-VALID-NUM IS
'0' THRU '9'
CLASS WS-VALID-CHAR IS
'A' THRU 'I'
'J' THRU 'R'
'S' THRU 'Z' |

OK, that's 36 of them. What about the other 59?
Let's say that gives a total of 10 tests. The data is valid, so won't drop out early, so 10 tests per byte per record. Because there is no drop-out, same as a simple (similar) 88 user per byte.
Once you have valid data, validating again is a waste of resources and a complication in programs. You have proposed a neat way of wasting time, but it is still wasting time. |
