Is there any material available, which gives details on how to use
Selection Criteria within a member & about the various options.

//STEPNAME EXEC PGM=FILEAID,REGION=6M
.
.
.
//DDxxSC DD DSN=SELECTION CRITERIA DATASET NAME (SC MEMBER)
//DDxxSCN DD DSN=COMPARE NEW DATASET - SELECTION CRITERIA DATASET NAME (SC MEMBER)

(I already have a file-aid Batch Reference Manaul. But this doesnt give more information on //DDxxSC option.)

Deepbounds,

The compare function is clearly explained in the File-AID MVS Online Reference Manual.

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Kolusu,

Thanks for your reply,
I am looking for (formats or ) syntaxs & options available for entering selection criteria in "SELECT" member, in the below example.

//DD01SC DD DSN=USERID0.FILEAID.SC.D950111.T155818(SELECT),

I have been using file-aid online processing , but I would like to know what you enter in "SELECT" member for search criteria.

Hi,

Please see the example below. Is there any file-aid manual which gives details on what parameters can be used in selection criteria using DD01SC. I know, it is very similar to batch FILEAID jcls where we enter parameteres in SYSIN, but I am looking for manual for reference giving details on selection criteria using DD01SC.


Data in :
//DD01SC DD DSN=USERID.FILEAID.SC.xxx.xxx(SELECT)

/* CAUTION: Manually editing this member with a Product other
/* than File-AID will corrupt the directory entry when saving
/* this member. Statistics will overlay information in the
/* directory entry required when loading Selection Criteria and
/* XREFs, rendering the member unusable.

DEFINE BLOCKS=SELECTION,

INITIAL_SKIP=0,
THEN_SELECT=1,
THEN_SKIP=0,

MAXIMUM_TO_SEARCH=ALL,
MAXIMUM_TO_SELECT=ALL

SELECT SET=1
IF
POSITION=1,LENGTH=40,OPERATOR=CO,
TYPE=T,VALUE="XXX"



Thank you !
