The way I’ve written a SPEC stage appears to be causing error: “
FPLSPX1038E Not a decimal number: RANDOM EXEC F 80 40 1 2013-02-06 07:40:30 FPLMSG003I ... Issued from stage 5 of pipeline 1 FPLMSG001I ... Running "SPEC a: 1-* . SELECT SECOND b: 1-* . IF (a¬==b) TH" ” Input is paired sets of records (strings via two LISTFILE, already fed through a LOOKUP). The intention is that output will be suppressed unless the pair of records (strings) are not equal. The SPEC stage in question: " '| SPEC' , 'a: 1-* .' , 'SELECT SECOND' , 'b: 1-* .' , 'IF (a¬==b) THEN' , '/'arg1':/ 1 PRINT a NW WRITE' , '/'arg2':/ 1 PRINT b NW' , 'ENDIF' , " Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong? --Shawn S.
