Hi all,

I have a scenario where i need to give date field dynamically to the sort control statement.

i have input file with following records which have 1st 10 bytes as date.
now i have to pick up the records which have current date and write them in to one output file and the records which do not match the current date should be written to some other output file

Code:


12/10/2007.......
13/10/2007.....
15/10/2007.....
16/10/2007.....
17/10/2007.....
18/10/2007....
19/10/2007....


now i want to take the records which have current date to one output file
and remaining to some other file.

for example if current date is 17/10/2007 then my first output file should have only 17/10/2007 and remaining records should written to second output file


i want this to be done using jcl sort.

thanks in advance!!

You can use a DFSORT job like this to do what you asked for:

Code:

//S1    EXEC  PGM=ICEMAN                                         
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*                                         
//SYMNAMES DD *                                                 
* Use system symbols to create a DFSORT symbol for:
* CURDATE,C'dd/mm/yyyy'
CURDATE,S'&DAY./&MON./&YR4'                                     
//SYMNOUT DD SYSOUT=*                                           
//SORTIN DD *                                                   
12/10/2007.......                                               
13/10/2007.....                                                 
15/10/2007.....                                                 
16/10/2007.....                                                 
17/10/2007.....                                                 
18/10/2007....                                                   
19/10/2007....                                                   
//OUT1 DD SYSOUT=*                                               
//OUT2 DD SYSOUT=*                                               
//SYSIN    DD    *                                               
  OPTION COPY     
* Use the CURDATE symbol in INCLUDE.                                               
  OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT1,INCLUDE=(1,10,CH,EQ,CURDATE)               
  OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT2,SAVE
