I have a file where first 10 bites are defined as 9(10). But there are chances that, I might get junk values in the field. Before feeding this file to my COBOL program, I would like to remove such records and feed it. How can I remove the junk values from the file? Is it possible in SORT?
Thanks, |

Locate the section on "Numeric Tests" in the manual.
This can be used in INCLUDE/OMIT COND=, INCLUDE/OMIT= and IFTHEN=. |

Hello,
Might they be something other than "junk"? Suggest you determine how the data originated and fix/change that process rather than some kludge to pass the data to "fix" it. |

Thanks Bill, got it.
Hi Dick, Yeah that's true. It's something our upstream system needs to make the change. I was checking the possibilities... |
