1. Every Record with XXXXXX should have a matching YYYYYYY
2. YYYYYYY record should have numeric value < 40
"XXXXXX 2222222" record was omitted because there was no matching YYYYYYY record following it . "XXXXXX 4444444" was omitted because the following YYYYYYY record had value 50 (> 30).
EDIT: Code'd
Welcome to the forums, you could do this by defining 'GROUPS' starting with XXXXXX, and PUSH the '1111111' field across the GROUP.
In the output, INCLUDE only 'YYYYYYY' records with a 'good' numeric value, write the 'PUSH'ed field and the numeric field.
Extra note:
After 'YYYYYYY' record with 'bad' numeric value the previously PUSHed value needs to be erased to terminate the 'bad' group (or "re-PUSHed", with blanks, or whatever), until new 'XXXXXXX' record is found.

Can you please provide an example for defining GROUPS with PUSH.
Plenty of examples in the forum. Use the Search function. I used keywords GROUP and PUSH and searched only the SYNCSORT section of the forum and about the second result had an example.

I don't think this is required. Also you don't really need an END-check.

Criteria for selection :
1. Every Record with XXXXXX should have a matching YYYYYYY
As per the OPs requirement, XXXXXX may or may not have a matching YYYYYYY. Not the other way around. Your input shows multiple consecutive Y-records which is not in line with OP's sample data.

sancraig16,
Can you post the complete error message along with your control statements when you attempted to use 'CONVERT'? I don't see it in your last post.
Also include your input an output data set attributes (LRECL, RECFM ..).

CONVERT will not give a JCL error - bad JCL will give a JCL error. JCL knows nothing about utility control statements. Furthermore, SYNCSORT messages begin with WER. The message you posted is neither a JCL message nor a Syncsort message. I suspect it is some sort of JCL checker message. Try running the JCL and give us the real messages.

sancraig16,
Since the input data set is VB, you might want to include the PUSH-ed fields at the beginning of the record at pos-5(considering the RDW).
For your CONVERT, you could do your IFTHEN BUILDs in an OUTREC IFTHEN and do the CONVERT and INCLUDE in the OUTFIL.
This is UNTESTED, but should give you something to start with. Good luck!
It worked. Thank you !!
I added an IFTHEN for FINDREP on the existing INREC to remove the ')'
I then added BUILD with CONVERT to the existing OUTFIL to include only the data I needed.
