You can use a single pipe invocation selecting all of your target lines i n a single stage that makes it more readable. 'pipe vmc perfsvm user | all /CICS/ ! /DOSVSE/ ! /COMP/' , '| specs 1-16 1 >> SUMUSE LOG A'
The ! is an OR function for the ALL stage. It will do the cascading LOCAT Es under the covers. Not a technically efficient, but much more readable. /Tom Kern On Fri, 12 Dec 2008 13:55:36 -0500, Aria Bamdad <a...@biostat.bsc.gwu.edu > wrote: >On Fri, 12 Dec 2008 12:28:22 -0600 Wilson, Roger said: >> >>I am writing an exec that reads a file pulls certain lines out and writ e >>this data to an output file.
