Re: Error ICE007A on ICETOOL OMIT sentence

Hello, On book "Application Programmer Guide" appear the text: "You can specify either an INCLUDE statement or an OMIT statement in the same DFSORT run, but not both". I read that before, but this is not really truth. Dfsort run correctly if I write an INCLUDE and an OMIT like this examples:

Yes, your interpretation is what I meant. I was thinking the "branch prediction" would sort that out, but, probably unreasonably, that thought assumes that most programmers make their definitions large enough (and not overly large) to not have overflow, although on the other hand even doing it

Yep - I'm hoping they'll like the batch facilities in MVS which in my opinion are far beyond unix. This might be a spot where a history lesson is needed, but I wasn't around in the early days: From what I've read, MVS started with nothing but batch jobs and later grew into online systems.

I should have included the definitions, not just described them. There are no decimal places, it is just two eight-digit integers, and two nine-digit integers: 01 PICS9-8 COMP-3 PIC S9(8). 01 PICS9-8-2 COMP-3 PIC S9(8). 01 PICS9-9 COMP-3
