Re: Substring DDS

Hi,

Yes, it's possible.

LF with a substring (example) :


A          R REC                       PFILE(PFILEA)
A**** --------------------- data
A            FLD01
A            FLD02
A            FLD03
A            FLDSS             I      SST(FLD01 9 5)
A*
A          K FLDSS


__________


Note:
#1 - All the fields of PF must be on LF.
#2 - In function SST you must select the field to be "substringed", indicate the
substring start (in the example 9) and the length of the substring (5).
#3 - Use the field as input ("I" in Use).



HTH,

Osvaldo
