Hi,

I have the following code:

$$DD01 COPY IF=(5,EQ,C'SEG1'),
MOVE=(01,10,17),
OUT=10

How can I tell FileAid-Batch to print every record matching that IF-condition twice?

Best regards!

Do they need to be contiguous? If not, just list the file twice in the next step.

I don't think File-Aid CAN write twice. If any function can do it, it will be the USER function.

If you have sort available, you could use:

Select all

SORT FIELDS=COPY
INCLUDE COND=(5,4,CH,EQ,C'SEG1')
OUTFIL OUTREC=(17,10,/,17,10)

That's if I remember my File-Aid format.

If it's a variable length file, you need to add 4 to all the positions, plus tell sort to make it fixed length:

Select all

SORT FIELDS=COPY
INCLUDE COND=(9,4,CH,EQ,C'SEG1')
OUTFIL CONVERT,OUTREC=(21,10,/,21,10)

The USER function was a very good idea! I just have to specify WRITE=DD01O twice and the selected record will be printed twice! :-)

Nice!

That's awesome. We just lost File-Aid here, so I couldn't test it.

I can't imagine working without FileAid... ;-)
