Hi,

I need to extract records from a file within a date range Oct 1 2006 and Dec 31 2006.
The position of the Date field is 36 position and its length is 8 chars (CCYYMMDD). I need to do it with sort.
Can anyone help me out with this.

Regards
Sandhya

WHich SORT, DFSORT or SYNCSORT ?

Use the INCLUDE statement

Hi expat,

I was aware of the above mentioned format for DFSORT, but was skeptical whether the GE would work for the Date fields.

I have the solution

Hi Frank,

What you have specified is the correct answer to my question.

The reply that I had given was for the final version of my requirement. As you already would know - requirements change sometimes.

The final requirement is :
Extract all records with date greater than or equal to 24 Feb 2007.
Date position is 34 and CCYYMMDD format.
My post above has the reply for the same.

Sorry to have mislead.
Thanks Frank for correcting.

Regards
Sandhya
