There are two Exclude Data process statements:
- NEXCLUDE
- Exclude applies to the new file
- OEXCLUDE
- Exclude applies to the old file
These statements exclude rows or columns of data from the comparison.
Up to 254
"exclude" statements can be entered for each file.
Notes: - NEXCLUDE and OEXCLUDE statements are mutually exclusive to NFOCUS
and OFOCUS statements if using the same operand keyword (ROWS or COLS).
- Do not use the NEXCLUDE or OEXCLUDE process statement if the Y2DTONLY
process statement has been specified.
Compare Types: FILE (ROWS option only) and LINE
>>-+-NEXCLUDE-+--+-ROWS-+--start_position--:--end_position-----><
'-OEXCLUDE-' '-COLS-'
- start_position
- If
ROWS operand used, the first row (record) to be excluded from the
comparison. If COLS operand used, the first column to be excluded
from the comparison.
- end_position
- If ROWS operand used, the
last row (record) to be excluded from the comparison. If COLS operand
used, the last column to be excluded from the comparison. (Must be
separated from the start_position by a colon.)
