You can read the records in the sequential order and process each record.  When you get the desired record then just use delete to delete that particular record.Hope this helps you :P

The real problem is why the copylib/include is not being picked up.

If your compile can't find the macro, you'll get one error having to do with not finding the macro, and a 'variable not defined' for every reference to the variables defined in the macro.

SOC4 abend may be due to the following reasons.

1.Missing SELECT statement ( During Compile time)

2.Bad Subscript/Index

3.Read/Write attempt to unopened file

4.Move data to/from unopened file

5.Missing parameters in called subprogram

SOC7 abend may be due to the following reasond

1.Numeric Operation on Non-numeric data

2.Coding past the maximum allowed subscript.

3.Un-initialize working storage.

Please let me know if there more reasons for the above mentioned abends.

Chinmay

• Aug 10th, 2011

Soc4-Protection exception, usually caused by an invalid index and subscript to an array

soc7-Caused due to bad data, in case of numeric data we are moving non-numeric,in case of numeric comparison we are finding space

SOC4 means subscript being out of range. This is because of compiler option.Default is nossrange we have to change it for ssrange....SOC7 means uninaialized numeric field. For SOC7 if we are doing numeric opretion which field is defined as non-numeric.
