Hi..
I know that it's possible to append the current date to the end of each record in the input file and copy it to the output file using the DATE parm in OUTREC. I have a requirement, in which I want the previous day's date to be appeneded instead of current date. Is this possible? |

You can use DFSORT's relative date support in INREC, OUTREC and OUTFIL to do that. For example:
| Code: |
INREC OVERLAY=(81:DATE1-1)
|
would give you '20060928' in positions 81-88 today. There are lots of other variations you can use for other date formats.
You'll need z/OS DFSORT V1R5 PTF UK90007 or DFSORT R14 PTF UK90006 (April, 2006) in order to use DFSORT's relative date function. If you don't have the April, 2006 PTF, ask your System Programmer to install it (it's free). For complete details on all of the new DFSORT and ICETOOL functions available with the April, 2006 PTF, see:

Yes, look at the messages from any DFSORT run. If you see 'ICE201I E', you have the April, 2006 PTF. If you see 'ICE201I 0', you don't have the PTF. |
