Good day,
please let me know how to accomplish the following using DFSort.
Have an FB dataset, LRECL=80, where a 40 bytes product name field can have extra (>1) spaces between values.
There could be trailing spaces, but not leading.
I don't need to squeeze or shirt those values, just identify records with extra spaces in the product name and copy them to output.
Thanks.

ramy2016,
You can use INCLUDE COND=(35,40,SS,EQ,C' ') to include the records with 2 spaces , however this would also bring the records that have trailing spaces. So you need to pad the trailing spaces with some thing other than a space and then use the INCLUDE. So we use JFY to pad the trailing spaces with $ and put it at the end of the record and then use INCLUDE on the new field to find the records with 2 spaces.
So here is a sample.
Code:
//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
AAZZ12300000111...................METRIC UNIT CONVERTER
BBZZ12300000111...................CHART CONVERTER Z100DL
CCZZ12300000111...................FORCE
DDZZ12300000111...................ANGULAR ACCELERATOR
TEST RECORD WITH ALL SPACES
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
INREC OVERLAY=(81:35,40,JFY=(SHIFT=LEFT,LENGTH=40,
TRAIL=C'$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$'))
