Hi all,
I have to match two datasets (FB200) and:
- if the key is present only in the first dataset, I have to write the record in AM28.DOP0GF.TS000.CONTRADI.GFMBF manipulating data
- if the key is present only in the second dataset, I have to write the record as is in AM28.DOP0GF.TS000.CONTRADI.GFMBF
- if the key is present on both datasets, I have to subtract dataset2.campoA from dataset1.campoA: if the result is >= 0 I have to write a record in AM28.DOP0GF.TS000.CONTRADI.GFMBF inserting the result of subtracting in a certain position; if the result is < 0 I have to write a record in AM28.DOP0GF.TS000.CONTRADI.GFMBF inserting the subtraction result in a certain position.

is there a syntax error or, with the sort, I can not do what previously described?

Well, both. Because you cannot do that in the manner you are attempting, you obviously are creating a syntax error when you attempt to do so. You can't have an expression in a condition.
You have to do the calculation before the test, storing the result in an extension to the record, and then use that field in the condition. Use IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT for this.
You have to ensure that the extension does not persist on your output. Since you already have BUILD to get the data from the REFORMAT record, that should not be a problem, you won't need to do anything extra.
in effect, to obviate this problem, I modified IFTHEN so that writes the subtraction result in the same position and, in a next job step, I controlled if in that location the value is positive or negative: in the first case I leave everything so while in the second I overturn the value in another field.
