Im trying to pull 2 diffrent records but only code runs but shows data for DEL only and then stays in a loop. Can anyone help.

Select all

DONE = 'NO'
LINENO = 0

DO WHILE DONE = 'NO'
"EXECIO 1 DISKR DATA"

IF RC = 0 THEN /* RECORD WAS READ */
DO
PULL RECORD
LINENO = LINENO + 1 /* COUNT THE RECORD */
IF INDEX(RECORD,'RPL') \= 0 THEN
PULL RECORD
LINENO = LINENO + 1 /* COUNT THE RECORD */
IF INDEX(RECORD,'DEL') \= 0 THEN
DO
SAY 'FOUND IN RECORD' LINENO
SAY 'RECORD = ' RECORD
END
END
ELSE NOP
END
ELSE
DONE = 'YES'
END
EXIT 0

Whoa! Hold on a sec!

First of all, are you missing a "DO" somewhere? You seem to have an extra "END" coded? Use the HILITE DO ISPF Edit command instead of the usual HILITE REXX to see if there's an unmatchd DO/END pair.

Also, you've only read 1 record into the data stack. You can't read 1 record and then issue 2 pull commands.

ok removed the 2nd pull and end statement so now the 2nd if statement executes and not the first and return code is zero. would like it to find both strings... sorry im new to programming and if then statement still confuse me

hi,
from your piece of code what i understood is you are trying to display a record which has 'DEL' in it.
in that case try the following code.

Select all

"EXECIO 1 DISKR DATA(FINIS STEM REC." /* after allocating a file you put records into stem var say rec.*/
DO I = 1 TO REC.0 /*REC.0 indicates end of file */
IF POS('DEL',REC.I) > 0 THEN
DO
SAY 'DEL IS PRESENT IN RECORD NUMBER ' I /* will display the record number*/
SAY 'RECORD IS ' REC.I /* will display the record */
END
END

if you want to display records with REPL you can have another IF THEN within this loop.
hope this might solve your problem.

"EXECIO 1 DISKR DATA(FINIS STEM REC." /* after allocating a file you put records into stem var say rec.*/
DO I = 1 TO REC.0 /*REC.0 indicates end of file */
IF POS('DEL',REC.I) > 0 | POS('REPL',REC.I) > 0 THEN
DO
SAY 'DEL IS PRESENT IN RECORD NUMBER ' I /* will display the record number*/
SAY 'RECORD IS ' REC.I /* will display the record */
END
END

I hope this will do...........
