Hi, How to extract all the data from the dataset after the first instance of a field?

Eg:
Input:
1 AAAA
1 BBBB
1NAAAA
1 BBBB
1NCCCC

Output Expected:
1NAAAA
1 BBBB
1NCCCC

I have to write all the data after I encounter 'N' in position 2.
Can someone help me ? Please let me know if i need to provide some more details.

You cannot do this with JCL - JCL tells the OS to execute programs and the resources required.

What have you tried? Have you tried writing a program? Have you tried writing some sort control statements?

Please use the code tags when posting code and data.

Use DFSORT GROUP and PUSH and include only what is being PUSHed. On the way out.

The identificator can just be pushed through.
Code:
//SYSIN    DD *                                                   
  OPTION COPY                                                     
  INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=GROUP,BEGIN=(2,1,CH,EQ,C'N'),PUSH=(40:2,1)) 
  OUTFIL INCLUDE=(40,1,CH,EQ,C'N'),BUILD=(1,6)
