I need to skip couple of records from a big file based on the following conditions (Around 20 similar conditions, but for sample I gave only three sets). Due to NE condition with ORIF, it never goes to other than first set of IF conditions:

//SYSIN DD *
$$DD01 USER IF=(35,NE,C'1967714'),IF=(65,NE,C'20110320'),
IF=(347,NE,C'20110428'),

ORIF=(35,NE,C'1967715'),IF=(65,NE,C'20110320'),
IF=(347,NE,C'20110428'),

ORIF=(35,NE,C'9364299'),IF=(65,NE,C'20110320'),
IF=(347,NE,C'20110526'),IF=(133,NE,C'2340'),

Please help me how it fix this issue.

vemurusatya,


It is always a good idea to check for positive conditions instead of conditions. You can use an INCLUDE COND with sort and it would be easy. If you need help converting it ,then show us the complete control cards and we will show you a way to convert it to DFSORT control cards.

PS : Questions of this type should be posted in the Utilities forum. I am moving this topic

Hello Kolusu,
Thank you very much for your advice. Mean while I tried with SORT OMIT with positive condition, then it works.

vemurusatya,

Your control cards can be further simplified like this
