HI Friends,

I have a file length of 1200 and I want to find if there is any data between 210 to 1200 . if not spaces i need to write to another file.

Code:

SORT FIELDS=COPY                 
INCLUDE COND=((210,990,CH,NE,C' ')


CAN YOU please suggest if my approach is correct

Check this post.


I think there is a limit in sort on the position that validates for any condition. its working when i give postion 10 or 20 but when I give position 900 throwing error

SYSIN :
SORT FIELDS=COPY
INCLUDE COND=(212,788,CH,NE,C' ')

INSTALLATION OPTIONS IN MFXPRMIT WILL BE USED
INCLUDE/OMIT INVALID LENGTH

The manual indicates a limit of 256 bytes for CH comparisons.

1) Your logic is wrong
2) Your syntax was wrong, too
Code:

SORT FIELDS=COPY                 
INCLUDE COND=(210,990,SS,NE,C' ')

INCLUDE COND=(212,200,SS,NE,C' ')


even with length as 900 its not working...file has many records but throwing empty file.

1) Please, learn some basics of logical operations. Your example is senseless
2) You are given ready-to-use solution above. Stop re-inventing the wheel. Force self-education.

You have Syncsort not DFSORT. Please check the Syncsort manual what it says about comparisons.

Are you sure the contents of the file has spaces and not low values?

Can you also check for X'00' ??

Also moved the topic to right forum

Looks like the OP is trying to exclude all-blanks in positions 210 thru 1200 into one output, ie INCLUDE records with ANY non blank character in ANY of these positions.

The SS 'solution' suggested above does not seem to apply to the OP's problem. It INCLUDEs records with ALL the positions 210 thru 1200 filled with non-blank characters. (the OP might not have such a record and ended up with an empty output).

Changing the NEs to EQs in OP's original control card like this would have been one of the options.
Code:
 SORT FIELDS=COPY
 OMIT COND=(212,256,CH,EQ,C' ',AND,
            468,256,CH,EQ,C' ',AND,
            724,256,CH,EQ,C' ',AND,
            980,.........)
