[Idiot]

Hi !

I have a JCL for sort and include. I need to include only those records who have zero values in positions 140 to 143.The field in this position is a Binary field defined as PIC S9(9) COMP.

How to code INCLUDE CONDITION FOR THIS CASE?

IF it is a alphanumeric field i would code

INCLUDE COND = (140,3,CH,EQ C'0000').

How to do for a binary field?

Thanks ....

perhaps the answer is at

http://mvshelp.com

There is a SORT forum there.

It should be as simple as changing your 'CH' in the include statement to 'BI' (Binary).

Other legitimate values for this include condition would also be PD, Packed Decimal, ZD, Zoned Decimal and, I believe, FI, Fixed Integer.

Hope this helps.

Greenguy71 is right. Replace the 'CH' with 'BI'.
