I have physical file that contains a something like 10 fields in it.
In one field, that is 6 characters long, I need to check the first
two characters of that field and then only include records where the
first two characters contain a specific value.

I thought I could use the SST and then a Select in the logical but
it's not working. Instead I am getting all the records in that file,
not just the ones with the derived field containing a specific
value.

This is my source <<SNIP>>

How do I code the logical so that it only pulls records where the
derived field DRVFLD = 'EV'?

FWiW: With *HEX collation\SRTSEQ, there should be no requirement to use a derived [input only] field in the logical file record format. That is because all values included with selection "SST(C6 1 2)='EV'" should be the same values as those included with the selection against the entire field C6 using either of "(C6>='EV' *AND C6<'EW')" or [using an Omit specification for each field compare test to replace the /not/ logic in] "*NOT (C6<'EV' *OR C6>='EW')".
