Creation date included in email report

Hello,
I've been reading several topics but haven't found a way to et the creation date for a flat file, can this be done with a jcl utility like syncsort or iebgener or any other. I have an input file, IN.P.FILE and I need the creation date, I found how to get the date from TSO command but I need it from a JCL.

Thanks for the help.

=D

Hello,

You can get creation date from a LISTCAT. You would run the report to disk, then parse the output for the "creation" date. Following is an example of the output from a listcat:

Hellloooo,
Great idea, I'll use it in an email notification that we need to verify the creation of a data set, let me give it a try and I'll keep you posted !

Thanks !

Hello,

I used this command,

LISTCAT ENT('DATA.SET.NAME') ALL

and it works ! ! ! ! ! ! I only have to do a small SAS program to change from Julian date to standard date format ! !

Thanks a lot !!!

Hi,

Using LISTCAT ENT('DATA.SET.NAME') HISTORY in place of ALL would list only the date.

You can use it if you do not want any other info
