Please go back to your original message and provide a meaningful title that (briefly) describes the problem you have. Since almost all messages here could be said to want "help with below code", that doesn't make for a good title.

 

I agree with @Anne_A , I don't truly understand what you are looking for here. Can you explain further and/or give a few examples of what the code should do?

Not sure I understand your question. Could what you're looking for be

 

if (substr(terr,2,1)='9' AND DALFLAG ne 'Y') then delete;

 

?
