Example 4

  INCLUDE COND=(7,2,CH,EQ,C'T1',OR,
                (1,2,BI,GE,X'001A',AND,20,2,CH,EQ,25,2,CH))

This example shows the effects of VLSCMP/NOVLSCMP and VLSHRT/NOVLSHRT on INCLUDE processing when short records are present.

Consider the records shown in Figure 1:

If VLSCMP is in effect, the first record is included because bytes 7-8 are equal to C'T1', even though the comparison of bytes 20-21 to 25-26 involves short fields. The second record is included or omitted based on the comparison of bytes 20-21 to bytes 25-26.
If NOVLSCMP and VLSHRT are in effect, the first record is omitted because the comparison of bytes 20-21 to 25-26 involves short fields. The second record is included or omitted based on the comparison of bytes 20-21 to bytes 25-26.
If NOVLSCMP and NOVLSHRT are in effect, the first record causes message ICE015A or ICE218A to be issued because the comparison of bytes 20-21 to bytes 25-26 involves short fields.
