Hi all!

I'm having a problem with the SORT/SPEC command. I need to remove unwanted records (based on a date/time field) from a file but all input records are propagating to the output file. I could have a DCL procedure read the file, but I figured SORT would be faster. I use the command;
$sort/spec=specfile infile outfile

The input file contains:
7 district names loaded.
123456789-123456789-123456789- this line is to count columns

The specification file contains:
/field=(name=district,position:1,size:6,character)
/field=(name=unitid,position:7,size:10,character)
/field=(name=datetime,position:17,size:12,CHARACTER)
/field=(name=unitype,position:29,size:1,character)
/field=(name=today,value:"200303051200",size:12,character)
/field=(name=tomorrow,value:"200303061200",size:12,character)
/condition=(name=istoday,test=(datetime ge today))
/condition=(name=istomorrow,test=(datetime le tomorrow))
/condition=(name=nottoday,test=(datetime lt today))
/condition=(name=nottomorrow,test=(datetime gt tomorrow))
/include=(condition=istoday)
/include=(condition=istomorrow)
/omit=(condition=nottoday)
/omit=(condition=nottomorrow)

I've tried the spec file with all upper case, switched "=" for ":" and no change; all input data goes to the output file. Any ideas? Thanks!
