SKIPRECIF

Use the SKIPRECIF keyword to eliminate specific records from the default output file, SYSUT1O. When the record matches the selection criteria, the record is not written to the default output file, but any subordinate keywords to the selection criteria are executed.

The AND/OR keywords are only valid immediately following the SKIPRECIF keyword, as well as the IF, SELMEMIF, and SELRECIF keywords.

When a SKIPRECIF keyword immediately follows another SKIPRECIF/AND/OR keyword, the second SKIPRECIF is treated like an AND statement.

When SKIPRECIFs are separated by actions, subsequent SKIPRECIFs are not subordinate to the previous SKIPRECIF. The last action and the STOP keyword subordinate to a SKIPRECIF/AND/OR ends the SKIPRECIF/AND/ORs actions.
