Hi, I am trying to use DFSORT to get part of a dataset. We are directing the output of an ABAR job to a dataset and I would like to get the log for a specified date. Every LOG begins and ends with specific strings, and I would like to get those records and all the records in the middle, ignoring all the other ones. So, the first group record would have a string like (26,10,CH,EQ,C'2022/10/08') and the last record group would have a string like (01,10,CH,EQ,C'A TOTAL OF'). I need to get those two records, all the records in between those and ignore all the other ones. I am trying to use OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT#F1, IFTHEN=(WHEN=GROUP, BEGIN=(26,10,CH,EQ,C'2022/10/08'), IFTHEN=(WHEN=ANY, PUSH=(1:1,121), END=(01,10,CH,EQ,C'A TOTAL OF'), But this is copying all the records to the output file. I am still going through the manual but I would appreciate any help because I do feel like I am looking at the wrong place. TIA Jack
