You could try creating an SQL view instead of a DDs based Logical file.

Shannon,
I'm at a loss because the method you used to code the SST( and Select is
exactly what I have used, and it "seemed" to work. I.e., I never
noticed/found a problem.
My only suggestion is that you re-evaluate the result of the CRTLF.

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!
