Re: How do you NOT perform level breaks in a program with level breaks?

How will you decide which are not records you want?  Typically in that
environment you wanted to ignore records marked for delete.  The usual way
of marking the records for delete was to put a "D" or "X" in the first or
last column, then in your I-spec you defined your record as   "this is a
record if:  there is no character "X" in column 1"

If that describes your scenario, then the easiest way is to code NCX0001 on
the I line above your L1 break.

In other words, with this solution the record is read first, then the
program decides if the record is eligible to set on the Level-breaks.
Records excluded will never set on Level 1-9, so far as Iknow.

If this answer heads in the right direction for your problem, but I've
messed up the explanation, tell us how you will determine if you want to
process the record and we can be more specific.

ok?

I have an old program that needs to be modified to skip processing of
certain
records so it does not do any calculations.

The program has L1-L3 breaks defined. I know that once a record is read that
it will seton these indicators and perform the processes. Is there anyway
for me to bypass this on specific records?

Do I have to control this with an indicator or is there another way?
