Documentation

Definition

You can use the offset and length to define which part of the specified 'key word' field should be used in the comparison.

Syntax:

oooll

Permissible values are:

• ooo:    000 to field length - 1 of the key word (= offset)
• ll:    00 to field length of the key word (= length)

Note

• The key word may not be a constant.
• The key word must belong to category 'C' (character) or 'D' (date).
• The comparison category must be 'C'.
• The sum of the offset and length may not exceed the key word field length, Otherwise, a runtime error occurs.
