OUTFIL Saving Discards
OUTFIL Saving Discards Example
Scenario - Create three output files with dept1 records to file1, records which are not belongs to dept3 to file2 and the remaining records which are not satisfied above two conditions to file3.
Input File - MATEPK.SORT.INPUT01 - FB file of 80 length

Explaining Example -
- SORT FIELDS=(1,5,ZD,A) - sort all outputs in ascending order based on the ZD value from 1 to 5 positions.
- OUTFIL FNAMES=OUTPUT1,INCLUDE=(30,5,CH,EQ,C'dept1') - All the records marching with "dept1" from the 30th position of length 5 will be copied to output1 file.
- OUTFIL FNAMES=OUTPUT2,OMIT=(30,5,CH,EQ,C'dept3') ) - All the records marching with "dept3" from the 30th position of length 5 will be ignored and remaining all records will be copied to output2 file.
- OUTFIL FNAMES=OUTPUT3,SAVE - All the records which are ignored from the above two filters will be copied to output3 file. i.e. All dept3 records will be copied to output3 file.
