Locate the INVALID data in a field using FILE AID

The Easiest and Coolest way to locate bad data is thru File-Aid’sF IND command.

1.OPEN the file in FILE-AID (in either browse or edit mode)

2.XREF with COPYBOOK.

3.Use FMT mode

4.Then issue , F /field-name INVALID

                         or

                      F /field-number INVALID

The control will take you to the first invalid data record for the given field.

e.g., The FILE has 3 fields namely NAME,AGE,COUNTRY.

If you want to find the invalid data in the age field, then issue F /2 INVALID  ( AGE is the second field in the copybook)
