The usual way , if the tools are available, would be to plug the dd of your mmddyy with a 01, convert to julian yyddd, subtract 1 from the ddd and convert back to mmddyy. |

Apologies, it just sounded like a homework question until you clarified further. |

OK, fill in some information, please.
The stated requirement to use sort to generate a date is a bit thin.....
Where is the previous month coming from? The current month? A field in the input?
What are you doing with the last day of the previous month? Comparing it to a field in the input? |

| In the past, I have used REXX to build the control statements for DFSORT, for something similar. |

Hi
As you said we can get the current date, How can we convert date to 01 and use the Julian Date function in the sort card?
Actually our requirment is to populate fields from input files along with RPT-DATE(previous month last day) to the output file.
This is the new field added in the output file.
Thanks

So you need the date of the last day of the previous month in a sort control card, right?
I don't know, but Frank can do some magic in creating sort input for a following sort step....
And as expat said, he has "used REXX to build the control statements for DFSORT"..... |

Please show an example of the records in each input file and what you expect for output. Give the starting position, length and format of all relevant fields. Give the RECFM and LRECL of each input file. Explain the "rules" for getting from input to output.
Also, do you only have 20yy dates? Or do you have 20yy and 19yy dates? |

Cketha
your output file structure
| Quote: |
| eno. x(10), sys_id 9(10),date x(10), name x(40), bal 9(10),ldno 9(10) |
contains "ldno" which is not specified in any of the i/p's, clarify this.
It would be better if you are providing a set of sample i/p records, as to how your i/ps look, for clear understanding of your request. |

Cketha,
In your first post, you said
| Quote: |

Now in this post you say you just want to add the date from file1 to the records in file2. I don't know what the first statement has to do with the second, but you can add the date from file1 to the file2 records using this DFSORT job:
| Code: |
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=... input file2 (date)
//SORTOUT DD DSN=&&S1,UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,(1,1)),DISP=(,PASS)
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
INREC BUILD=(C'MYDATE,''',1,10,C'''',80:X)
/*
//S2 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYMNAMES DD DSN=&&S1,DISP=(OLD,PASS)
//SORTIN DD DSN=... input file1
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
INREC BUILD=(1,20,MYDATE,21,50,C'0000000000')
/*
