Pls find the error msg below..
I checked the error code in preview mode, the asterisk (*) under C'000000008' is appearing under 'INCLUDE'. so i decided to share it in attachmate for better understanding.
Code:

I agree with Dave.
There are two forms of the SS condition, e.g:
Code:
1,3,SS,EQ,C'ABC,DEF,GHI'
In this form (character string length greater than field length), SS checks the field for each group of three characters. So first it checks the field for 'ABC', then 'BC,' and so on. The comma is not really a delimiter - it's just a way to separate the needed groups of 3 characters.
Code:
1,80,SS,EQ,C'ABC,DEF,GHI'
In this form (field length greater than character string length), SS checks for the complete string everywhere in the record. So first it checks 1-11 for 'ABC,DEF,GHI', then it checks 2-12 and so on. The comma is just a character - it's not a delimiter or group separator.
This is the form you're using and explains why it didn't do what you thought it would. Other condition with the ORs, which Dave has shown, should do what you want.

If you have those many different values for the positions 49,9 - you've got to use ORs as you show. I don’t think so that there is some other way round to make your sort-card look rather elegant .

Anuj,
The sort card shown by bodatrinadh in his original post was perfectly fine except for the continuation which Gerry has corrected in his post above. The continuation character HAS to be at pos-72 and NOT as shown in your example.

There is something to learn, for me, today. However, something I'm missing here - below are the two rcords in input and I need all the records from input to output which have GB or AC appearing somewehre in the entire record, so basically both the records should appear in output:
Anuj,
I don't have syncsort so pardon me if my suggestion is not relevant but it looks like you are searching for the "string" in the first 2 bytes and not the entire record. The card looks for search string in the first 2 byte and it doesn't find the string.
