In my code first IFTHEN works as expected .
But the next IFTHEN is not working .

OUTREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(47,1,CH,EQ,C' '),
OVERLAY=(47:C'9999-12-31')),
IFTHEN=(WHEN=(57,1,CH,EQ,C' '),
OVERLAY=(57:C'9999-12-31'))

When I see the output , I see 9999-12-31 populated on 47th position but not on 57th position .

Is IFTHEN used incorrectly ?
I don't get syntax error though .

Hello,

Suggest you run a quick test reversing the ifthen's. . .

I'll check back later to see if there is progress.

I tried . Now it has populated the date on 57th position .But 47-56 are still blank .

Hello,

What release of Syncsort is being used (this is shown in the informatonal output of a run)?

Try changing:

Select all

OVERLAY=(47:C'9999-12-31')),

to:

Select all

OVERLAY=(47:C'9999-12-31'),HIT=NEXT),

This change should be put in only the first of the two ifthen's.
