RE: SST In Logical FIle with Select

The SST keyword format is SST(field-name starting-position [length]).

Have you tried placing an I in the use column?

Subject: SST In Logical FIle with Select

Hi,



It's been a really long time since I needed to do this and my skills are rusty. I could use some knowledgeable help!



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 and it doesn't work.



Physical File named File1:



R RFILE

FIELD1 1a

FIELD2 2a

FIELD3 3a

FIELD4 4a

FIELD5 5a

FIELD6 6a

FIELD7 7a

FIELD8 8a

FIELD9 9a

FIELD10 10a

K FIELD1

K FIELD2







Logical file:



R RFILE PFILE(FILE1)

FIELD1

FIELD2

FIELD6

FIELD8

FIELD10



DRVFLD I SST(FIELD6 1 2)



K FIELD1

K FIELD10

S DRVFLD COMP(EQ 'EV')







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



Thanks!



Shannon O'Donnell
