I like using lines, I like to be able to read the code.
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OMIT COND=(1,80,SS,EQ,C'ted03')
INREC PARSE=(%=(ENDBEFR=BLANKS,
FIXLEN=30,
STARTAT=NONBLANK,
STARTAFT=BLANKS),
%=(ENDBEFR=BLANKS,
FIXLEN=30),
%03=(ENDBEFR=BLANKS,
FIXLEN=30)),
BUILD=(%03)
OMIT has been around a long time, but you might want to look up SS as a
field-type.
PARSE you may not know, but I think you'll be able to follow without the manual
- and if not, there's always the manual.
I think the BUILD is OK too.
Is there anything genuinely obscure here?
