How can I Retrieve the Previous RUNDATE of A JOB?

For Example a Job RUN on Yesterday I need Yesterday Date if It run on day before Yesterday I need that date.

Can it be possible by reading SYSOUT of that JOB? Any other solutions?

Thanks

Are you doing this through a program? If you have access to the JOBLOG from the prior run you could find a date there in the messages.

Also, SORT can generate the current date in a variety of formats. Add a step to the job to store the date in a file and then read it next time before storing a new date.

Logically, I'd think that this information would be retrieved from the logs of the scheduling system, the syslogs, or some other logging data, the JES spool, or a repository (Mobius or SAR). What's not clear to me yet is where does the O/P intened to retrieve this information from?
