   This means that what is in 9-16 is not equal to what is in the FIELD 17-24
   of the same input file, should be used as selection criteria in addition
   to the earlier conditions ... a string of ANDs would be in effect until
   you it an OR condition.

   and Richard, factor 2 is that field 17-24, while factor 1 is the 9-16 part

          IAC   9  16NEF  17  24 <--------------- There's the line I'm not
     sure

   I wrote in S/36, and S/34 before it, from about 1984 to 1998.

   Nowadays I use logical indexes, RPGSQL, or very occasionally OPNQRYF to
   get the same kind of end result, which is to select what data to include,
   and process it in whatever sequence.  Often I use a combination, where the
   LF gets at the general data of reference while RPG narrows the focus, but
   SQL embedded in RPG is an extremely powerful tool.  I also sometimes have
   to modify some software where one program is used to perform a sort
   selection function, and a second program generates the output.
