hello , i have FB 80 file with thousands of records.
Would like to know, using icetool how can i remove all entries based on certain condition leaving the first entry. Any help is welcome.


Code:
My "TOOLIN *" DD has
    COPY FROM(IN) TO(OUT) USING(CTL1)

CTL1 HAS:
    INCLUDE COND=(01,80,SS,EQ,'1st STRING',OR,
            01,80,SS,EQ,'2nd STRING',OR,
            01,80,SS,EQ,'3rd STRING',OR,
            01,80,SS,EQ,'4th STRING')



I need to keep only the first occurrence of the '2nd string'.

thanks!

My suggestion would be to copy that one record you want to a temporary file. delete the original file, then rename the 1-record temp file to the original name.

You already have the INCLUDE doing what you want for selection? Have a look at OPTION STOPAFT (have a look at things like STARTREC and ENDREC at the same time, just so you know what type of stuff is in... the manual, where everything is...).

There also the later "filter" of INCLUDE=/OMIT= on OUTFIL, plus further options there for limiting things.

cyberuser,


Try the following untested control cards

Code:

    INCLUDE COND=(01,80,SS,EQ,'1st STRING',OR,
                  01,80,SS,EQ,'2nd STRING',OR,
                  01,80,SS,EQ,'3rd STRING',OR,
                  01,80,SS,EQ,'4th STRING')


     OUTREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(01,80,SS,EQ,'2nd STRING'),
     OVERLAY=(81:SEQNUM,8,ZD))                     
                                               
     OUTFIL OMIT=(81,8,ZD,GT,1),BUILD=(1,80)
