Hi,
We generally use MATCH FILE filename--> format for matching two files and the results are saved in a HOLD file. But if I am reading data from a flat file which has no mfd, using FIXFORM and then uses MATCH variable name format....what does it mean? with whom the matching is taking place...Please have a look at the code
FIXFORM X49 PCODE/6 PCLINE/1 RPCODE/6 X13
MATCH ECODE
ON MATCH TYPE ON PCETABLE
"<1 <PCODE <7 <PCLINE <8 <RPCODE <14 <ECODE"
ON NOMATCH REJECT
-*ON MATCH CONTINUE
-*MATCH PCODE PCLINE RPCODE
-*ON MATCH TYPE "DUPLICATE ECODE <TRAN <ECODE <PCODE <PCLINE <RPCODE"
DATA ON ENTW
END |

anindyamondal,
I feel that you have missed a MODIFY command before FIXFORM.
| Code: |
| FIXFORM X49 PCODE/6 PCLINE/1 RPCODE/6 X13 |
MATCH command over here is different from MATCH FILE which as you know is used for matching of two files. The MATCH here could be a part of MODIFY.
Please let us know if the given code is after a MODIFY command. |

Hi,
Dinesh is correct. There should be a modify file command.
This code explains the layout of your transaction file. You don't need an MFD for this method.
FIXFORM X49 PCODE/6 PCLINE/1 RPCODE/6 X13
Here X indicates spaces/un used space and others are fieldname/length.
Corrections welcome... |
