Gil, Hex values aren't supported for set statement. You would get IEFC629I INCORRECT USE OF APOSTROPHE ON THE SET STATEMENT error. If you want to pass hex values then you need to edit the SET statement by turning on HEX mode and override the hex values. Something like this // EXPORT SYMLIST=* // SET X01=' ',X05=' ' 6644ECE44EFF77076EFF77074444444444444444444444444444 110025300701ED1DB705ED5D0000000000000000000000000000 ---------------------------------------------------- //* //STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=* //SORTIN DD * ABC 1 ABCDEGGGGG 1 BBCDEFFFF //SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD *,SYMBOLS=JCLONLY OPTION COPY INCLUDE COND=(1,80,SS,EQ,C'&X01.1&X05.ABCDE') /* Thanks, Kolusu DFSORT Development IBM Corporation ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
