Your examples are actually incorrect. Your control statements contain blanks that will result in syntax errors. For example 1, the INCLUDE statement should be: INCLUDE COND=(1,80,SS,EQ,C'FIND STRING') Your second example does NOT do what you say it does. INCLUDE COND=(1,80,SS,EQ,C'HDR,TRL') will actually include records with the string 'HDR,TRL' in them. To include records with the string 'HDR' or the string 'TRL' in them, you would use this DFSORT INCLUDE statement: INCLUDE COND=(1,80,SS,EQ,C'HDR',OR, 1,80,SS,EQ,C'TRL') To include records with the string 'HDR' or the string 'TRL' in positions 11-13, you could use this DFSORT INCLUDE statement: INCLUDE COND=(11,3,SS,EQ,C'HDR,TRL') For those who are not familiar with DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, I'd suggest reading through "z/OS DFSORT: Getting Started". It's an excellent tutorial, with lots of examples, that will show you how to use DFSORT, DFSORT's ICETOOL and DFSORT Symbols. You can access it online, along with all of the other DFSORT books, from: www.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/software/sort/mvs/srtmpub.html Frank Yaeger - DFSORT Team (IBM) - yaeger(a)us.ibm.com Specialties: ICETOOL, IFTHEN, OVERLAY, Symbols, Migration => DFSORT/MVS is on the Web at http://www.ibm.com/storage/dfsort/

Howard, Sorry, but I don't understand your question. Are you looking for an Appendix in a specific DFSORT book? If so, which Appendix in which book? If not, please clarify.

It no longer points to anything and I want to update my documentation with wherever that old documentation was moved to. Trouble is, I don't remember what it said.
