RSELECT and RDELETE commands
Interspersed records within one report or file may either be dele ted
from or selected for printing by use of the RDELETE and RSELECT
commands. These commands can also selectively delete
specialized records, for example, control records and offset records
that are on the data tape but are not to be printed.
The following section describes the syntax of the command
parameters and explanations of the parameter options.
TEST
This parameter defines test expression for selection (RSELET) or
deletion (RDELETE) or records for printing.

Points to note
Note the following when using the RSELET and RDELETE
commands:
•When defining TABLE CONSTANTS or CHANGE parameters,
offsets to the subfields of the records are specified in bytes,
relative to zero from the start of the user’s portion of the record
to the beginning of the subfield.
•Record selection or deletion is performed prior to RAUX and
suspend or resume, offline. If a record satisfying either the
RAUX suspend or resume test criteria was previously not
selected for, or deleted from printing, neither the RAUX nor
suspend nor resume functions.
