RE: How to write a IDMS code to find whose employee last name is starting with J and first name starts with H.
01 WS-EMPLOYEE-NAME.
05 FIRST-INITIAL PIC X.
05 FILLER PIC X(29).
......
* WS-INITIAL-LETTER could be defined separately and set to 'J'
MOVE LOW-VALUES TO WS-EMPLOYEE-NAME.
MOVE WS-INITIAL-LETTER TO FIRST-INITIAL.
MOVE WS-EMPLOYEE-NAME TO EMPLOYEE-NAME.
* This is randomly accessing EMPLOYEE-NAME based on a partial key / string indexed * search using a 'secondary' index which is system owned. IX-EMPLOYEE-NAME is the * system owned index in this example.
OBTAIN EMPLOYEE-REC WITHIN IX-EMPLOYEE-NAME USING EMPLOYEE-NAME.
........
OBTAIN NEXT EMPLOYEE-REC WITHIN IX-EMPLOYEE-NAME.
*** The program must check for first letter in every record occurrence which it walks through that name still starts with 'J' and should exit loop / stop walking the set when when employee name does not start any longer with 'J'.
