ANIL SARATHY,

Use ALTSEQ and check this post for examples

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Thnaks for quick reply.

i am aware of altseq, but how to do check for unacceptable values other than above.


One way is to type values with different combinations of A-F and 0-9 in altseq

Any simple way.

It's not at all clear what it is you want to do. If you want to replace each "invalid" character with a space, you can do that using DFSORT's TRAN=ALTSEQ function. But you have to specify xx40 for each hex byte (xx) you want to treat as "invalid". DFSORT has no way of knowing which characters you consider to be invalid.

If you want to do something else, you need to explain clearly what exactly it is you want to do.

it seems i have to type, values mentioned above are good values.

Any hex value other than above is considered as unacceptable. So all these should be replaced with space. Hope this is clear

I have used ALTSEQ many times earlier, but it all accepts (XX)(YY) .

It sounds like what you are saying is that ALTSEQ will work, but you don't like entering all the "invalid" values, so you want something that will just "know" what you want and do it? I guess you want something that can read your mind, or just happens to consider the same set of values incorrect that you do. Maybe somebody else knows of such a "solution". I don't.

Funny, I suspect you would have done less typing by entering all the incorrect values for ALTSEQ then you did in this thread.
