can be anywhere inside the name.its position is not fixed and also
it can be anyspecial charecter not necessarily a " ' " .i hope you

do it in a sort card.may be using cobol we can do it.but i have to
do it using a sort card..is there a way |

1. The solution that i have provided, checks for the character ` anywhere in first 10 characters.
2. Do you have the possible set of Junk characters , If you know the possible set of Junk characters you can try
| Code: |
//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
BIXENTA
BL`R
BL`THAN
BLADE
BL&INE
BLAIR
BLA*SE
BLAKE
/*
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
OMIT COND=(1,10,SS,EQ,C'*',|,
1,10,SS,EQ,C'`',|,
1,10,SS,EQ,C'&') |

Hello,
Do you really want to discard all of the records containing some unwanted special character? Seems like those would still be good/valid records - they just have some character(s) that not acceptable in the file/data. |

Hello,
If you use INCLUDE rather than OMIT you should get a file of those records. |

Demonstrate this "discard" in some example data. Your previous post said you wanted these records in a separate file.
Please re-post your complete requirement including some input data and the output(s) you want from that data. The topic appears to have gone in multiple directions.
Once we get things straight, i'll go back and remove the unneeded posts. |

OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT2,SAVE

In the jcl, only those records that have either of three special characters anywhere in the first 10 bytes in the record will be written to OUT1 file i.e
HLQ.ONLY.SPECCHAR.
THe records that don't contain the above three special chars will be written to OUT2 file i.e HLQ.NO.SPEC.CHAR.

Hello,
The posted "code" does not address this:

Once a proper requirement definition has been posted, we can better offer suggestions. |
