Hi to all DFSORT gurus! Is there a limit of usage of Substring Search Limit beside of what is already documented?
If I say use using ICETOOL: INCLUDE=(5,1000,SS,EQ,X'D67DFBB0113C7464'), then I got the expected quantity of lines and these: ICE201I A RECORD TYPE IS V - DATA STARTS IN POSITION 5 ICE150I 1 VLSHRT NOT USED FOR SORT, MERGE, INCLUDE, OMIT OR SUM STATEMENT FIELDS ... ICE210I 0 PRINT : EXCP USED, LRECL = 32756, BLKSIZE = 32760, TYPE = VB ... ICE055I 0 INSERT 0, DELETE 0 ICE054I 0 RECORDS - IN: 1787271, OUT: 1787271 ICE227I 0 PRINT : DELETED = 1787268, REPORT = 0, DATA = 3 ICE228I 0 PRINT : TOTAL IN = 1787271, TOTAL OUT = 3 ICE052I 0 END OF DFSORT Using the SAME input and with INCLUDE=(5,8000,SS,EQ,X'D67DFBB0113C7464'), then I got no output and these messages: ICE201I A RECORD TYPE IS V - DATA STARTS IN POSITION 5 ICE150I 1 VLSHRT NOT USED FOR SORT, MERGE, INCLUDE, OMIT OR SUM STATEMENT FIELDS ... ICE210I 0 PRINT : EXCP USED, LRECL = 32756, BLKSIZE = 32760, TYPE = VB ... ICE055I 0 INSERT 0, DELETE 0 ICE054I 0 RECORDS - IN: 1787271, OUT: 1787271 ICE227I 0 PRINT : DELETED = 1787271, REPORT = 0, DATA = 0 ICE228I 0 PRINT : TOTAL IN = 1787271, TOTAL OUT = 0 ICE174I 0 NO DATA RECORDS FOR AN OUTFIL DATA SET - RC=0 ICE052I 0 END OF DFSORT Question: In (p1,m1,SS,EQ,constant) how far apart should the p1 and m1 be? Or rather, what is the maximum size of m1? I am asking this despite it is indeed documented that "m1 specifies the length of the field to be tested. The length can be 1 to 32752 bytes." Just curious of course if you don't mind please. Of course I may Thanks in advance!
