<h1 class="topictitle1">Specify COMP at the select- or omit-field level</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>At the select/omit-field level, you can specify a field name, a
|
||
|
|
value, or *NULL for the parameter.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If the select/omit field is a binary character field, the field-name parameter
|
||
|
|
must also be a binary character field. The comparisons for binary character
|
||
|
|
select/omit fields also need to take the actual lengths of the operands into
|
||
|
|
consideration. The operands will only compare as equal if the actual lengths
|
||
|
|
of the operands are equal. Shorter operands will be considered less than the
|
||
|
|
longer operands when they are equal up to the length of the shorter operand.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p">If you specify a value, the following rules apply: <ul><li>If you are defining a character field, specify a character constant or
|
||
|
|
a hexadecimal character string. <p>Specify character strings with single
|
||
|
|
quotation marks (see Example 1 in the <a href="rzakbmstlcomp.htm">COMP (Comparison) keyword for physical and logical files</a> topic).</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Specify hexadecimal character strings as an X followed by
|
||
|
|
a combination of the digits 0 through 9 and the letters A through F, enclosed
|
||
|
|
in single quotation marks ('). The number of hexadecimal digits in single
|
||
|
|
quotation marks must be exactly twice the specified length of the field (see
|
||
|
|
Example 2 in the <a href="rzakbmstlcomp.htm">COMP (Comparison) keyword for physical and logical files</a> topic).</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If you are defining a numeric field, specify a numeric string (digits
|
||
|
|
0 through 9 specified without single quotation marks) as shown in example
|
||
|
|
2.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If you are defining a date field, specify a valid date in the same format
|
||
|
|
specified on the DATFMT keyword and use the same separator as specified on
|
||
|
|
the DATSEP keyword.<p>For example, <samp class="codeph">COMP(EQ '12/15/91')</samp> is
|
||
|
|
the default value if *MDY is specified for DATFMT and '/' is specified for
|
||
|
|
DATSEP.</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If you are defining a time field, specify a valid time in the same format
|
||
|
|
specified on the TIMFMT keyword and use the same separator as specified on
|
||
|
|
the TIMSEP keyword.<p>For example, <samp class="codeph">COMP(EQ '11.00.00')</samp> is
|
||
|
|
the default value if *ISO is specified for TIMFMT. The default separator for
|
||
|
|
*ISO is a period (.).</p>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If you are defining a timestamp field, you must specify the default value
|
||
|
|
in the following format: <pre>COMP(EQ 'YYYY-MM-DD-HH.MM.SS.UUUUUU')</pre>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you specify *NULL, the relational operator must be EQ or NE.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>COMP selects or omits records retrieved from the physical file on which
|
||
|
|
this logical file is based when your program sends an input operation to the
|
||
|
|
record format you are defining. The operating system selects or omits records
|
||
|
|
as a result of testing the value of the select/omit fields against the value
|
||
|
|
you specify, the value of the field whose name you specify, or the null value
|
||
|
|
(if *NULL was specified).</p>
