SKIP

The SKIP control statement is used to skip over a SYSOUT group on the input tape. It has the effect of deleting the group or groups from the output.

Syntax:

SKIP position-number[-position-number]

where

position-number

Specifies the desired tape file position, from 1 to 99999999, of the SYSOUT group to be skipped.

The position number can be one position, represented by a single number, or a range of positions represented by a range of numbers (for example, SKIP 1–2048).
