Hi,
I have a requirement where I have to sort the records based on the date difference.

Code:
ABC 20161019  20160210  +0000252
DEF 20161019  20160216  +0000246
GHI 20161019  20160213  +0000249


Date difference in HEX form is as below:
Code:
+0000252
4FFFFFFF
E0000252


I need to filter only those records, for which date differenece is say greater than or equal to +0000248

This is what I tried including some other modifications such as using ZD.
Code:
SORT FIELDS=COPY                   
INCLUDE COND=(25,8,PD,GE,+0000248)


But it's just including all the records.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Code'd

Your data is NOT PACKED.

Since, you didn't use code tags, the spaces between fields were not preserved.

You can use ZD and compare like:
Code:
 OPTION COPY
 INCLUDE COND=(26,7,ZD,GE,248)

Or you can use FS like:
Code:
 OPTION COPY
 INCLUDE COND=(25,8,FS,GE,+0000248)   

Or you could also use SFF like:
Code:
 OPTION COPY
 INCLUDE COND=(23,8,SFF,GE,+0000248)
