RE: Need help about an OCL

Hi Charles

It's been a while since I did any OCL (1990 to be precise), but if I
remember correctly it's comparing the contents of positions 9-16 with the
contents of positions 17-24.

So the complete selection criteria is to include records where:

        Position 1 <> "D" and 
        Positions 17-24 <= Positions 31-38 of LDA and 
        Positions 9-16 <> Positions 17-24  

All the best

Jonathan

Hi!

I would like to understand the meaning of a line of a SORTA line. There's
the complete command:

// LOAD #GSORT
// FILE NAME-INPUT,LABEL-SC_?L'1,2'?_AP,DISP-SHR
// FILE NAME-OUTPUT,LABEL-SC?L'1,2'?L1?WS?,RECORDS-?F'A,SC_?L'1,2'?_AP'?
// RUN
     HSORTA    27A        3        N
     I C   1   1NECD
     IAC  17  24LEC?L'31,8'?
     IAC   9  16NEF  17  24 <--------------- There's the line I'm not sure
to understand
     FNC  29  36
     FNC   2   8
     FOC  17  24
     FOC  25  28
// END

I asked to a more experimented programmer at the office and he said that
it's the first time he sees this kind of syntax in a SORTA...

Can someone help me?

Charles
