Hi

Is it possible to use HIT=NEXT as below.

Code:
SORT FIELDS=COPY                                 
OUTFIL IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,1,CH,EQ,C'*'),             
               BUILD=(1:1,120,/,1:C'A'),HIT=NEXT),
       IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,5,CH,EQ,C'     '),         
               BUILD=(1:C'RECORD2',/,             
                      1:C'-------',/,             
                      1:1,120))                   



Thanks in advance!!
One.

oneofspace,

I just don't see the need for a HIT=NEXT as your IFTHEN conditions are mutually exclusive. You can try these control cards

Code:

  SORT FIELDS=COPY                                               
  OUTFIL IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,1,CH,EQ,C'*'),BUILD=(1:1,120,/,1:C'A')),
         IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,5,CH,EQ,C' '),                         
          BUILD=(1:C'RECORD2',/,                                 
                 1:C'-------',/,                                 
                 1:1,120))

Kolusu,

Really I do not have that sort card. Just wanted to know whether Hit=Next can be used in a IFTHEN condition when we build the output for making two or more records like below.

Code:
OUTFIL IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,1,CH,EQ,C'*'),             
               BUILD=(1:1,120,/,1:C'A'),HIT=NEXT)


Thanks!
One.

HIT=NEXT is ignored when you have BUILD with / in the IFTHEN clause.

This is documented in the DFSORT books where it says:

Processing of IFTHEN clauses continues unless one of the following occurs:
o A WHEN=(logexp) or WHEN=ANY clause is satisfied, and HIT=NEXT is not specified.
o A WHEN=(logexp), WHEN=ANY or WHEN=NONE clause is satisfied, and BUILD with / is specified (multiple output records).
