Re: Need help about an OCL

[Pat Barber <mboceanside@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In english:

Records with no D in position 1

and

compare 17-24 of the input record is less than
whatever is in 31-38 of the LDA

and

Using the positions of 9 - 16 of the input record
compare them to the postions of 17-24 of the input
record. If they are not equal, include this record.

This condition is a "and" of the other two conditions,
so... they all conditions must be true for this record
to included in the sort.

This is first time I have seen one like this myself.

You can see all the fields in SEU by prompting on the
line in question and selecting SR as the record type.
When the formated record comes up in the prompt, you
can then use the help key to see all the correct paramters.
