NCONTAIN

Figure 1. Syntax

Compares the value represented by number against the value or values defined by match.

Returns: If the numeric value of any of the match arguments is equal to the numeric value of number, then NCONTAIN returns 1. Otherwise, NCONTAIN returns 0.
number: The value, represented by a number, a function returning a value or a variable to which a value has been assigned, that you are comparing with match.
match: The value or list of values that you are comparing with number. You can search for up to 20 values at a time.

For a similar function for matching string values, see CONTAINS. For a FASTREXX-eligible equivalent, see FLD_CO.

Example 1

If the current record contains a packed decimal value of 10, 20, or 30 starting at column 8, then print the record.

If NCO(FLD(8,P),10,20,30) Then PRINT(inrec,'CHAR')

Example 2

If the current record contains a zoned decimal value of 11, 12, or 13 starting at column 10, then drop the record from processing.

If NCO(FLD(10,5,Z),11,12,13) Then Return 'DROP'
