Options

Suffix codes indicate when SELECT and REJECT criteria are applied.

SELECT

Record selection takes place before or after COMPUTE(P), depending on the physical sequence of the SELECT and COMPUTE(P) statements, and before sorting.

SELECT(S)

Record selection takes place after sorting, and after any COMPUTE(U) statements but before any COMPUTE statements.

SELECT(L)

The criterion applies solely to the determination of which detail records are to be printed by the LIST statement. Other records can be selected and processed in the run, but they are not represented in the listing. This does not apply to summary listings created using LIST(SUM).

SELECT(P)

Record selection takes place before sorting and before COMPUTE(P), irrespective of the physical sequence of the SELECT and COMPUTE(P) statements, but after any COMPUTE(S) statements.
