I want to check whether a particular fields is numeric or alphanumeric.
Say for example field in location 1-10, whether this is numeric or alphanumeric.
Is there any Numeric check in JCLs..?

You can use DFSORT's NUM function to check for numerics or non-numerics.

For more information, see:

For example:

Select all

OPTION COPY
INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,10,FS,EQ,NUM),BUILD=(...)),
IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,10,FS,NE,NUM),BUILD=(...))

If you want more specific help, you need to describe what you want to do in more detail.
