Dear all,

I would need help/suggestion to read and eliminate some records that came as a result of some operations. I have a record as shown below. I need to eliminate the one's which are without '$$' symbol mentioned below
. Here I just listed a piece of the record I have. I just want to remove "
PSDGPDH RECORD FORMATTED SUCCESSFULLY" which doesn't have any other information next to it. I mean there are no "$$ FORMATTED RESULTS NEEDS CROSS VERIFICATION". In other words I need to capture the PSDGPD* records which has an Information as "$$ FORMATTED RESULTS NEEDS CROSS VERIFICATION". Hope I'm clear. Please let me know if I need to explain more. Any suggestions or help would be great! Apologize if I'm wrong.

Viswa

Clear as mud. I suppose that with a PSDGPD header a new "logical" record begins that extends over one or more lines until the next header?

Hi Akatsukami,

Thanks for your time!

I expected.

Ok, let me explain bit more. I've got a flat file which has the records like mentioned above. I'm not sure how those were generated. But my aim is to filter out the ones which needs "CROSS VERIFICATION"

Here, PSDGPDG is a module/report name which was formatted using some tool which I'm not aware. If I see the next line saying "$$ FORMATTED RESULTS NEEDS CROSS VERIFICATION" I need to filter out the name PSDGPDG.
In other words, If I don't find "$$ FORMATTED RESULTS NEEDS CROSS VERIFICATION" as in the case of PSDGPDH I just want to delete that record/line. Hope I'm clear.
