My bad. Didn't see the LF layout.

Yes, it's there in my example code too, but this format makes it hard to see.

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!
