Scenario -Verifing the numeric value in the specified columns in all the records. In this example, we are trying to verify the existance of non-numeric values between the 70 to 79 columns.

//MATEPKVR JOB (123),'MATEPK',CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=A,

TOOLMSG (SDSF SPOOL) - Verify TOOLMSG for the return code of the submitted job.

Explaining Example -

• INDD - Specifies the ddname for input file.
• OUTDD - Specifies the ddname for output file.
• TOOLIN DD * - Specifies the ICETOOL statements for DFSORT.
• TOOLMSG - Specifies where to write the ICETOOL processing messages.
• DFSMSG - Specifies where to write the DFSORT processing messages.
• VERIFY FROM(INDD) ON(70,10,ZD) - Verifies and prints the invalid records having non-numeric values 70th position of length 10. In the above scenario, no invalid values found. So the VERIFY completed with RC 00.
