I have 2 Packed Julian date fields consecutively starting at positions 9 and 13 respectively in a VSAM file. My requirement is to copy the entire VSAM file (total length 41) to a flat file but convert the Packed Julian date (CCYYDDD) to Gregorian Date (MMDDCCYY). Please help me on this.
We are using Syncsort version 1.3.0.0N.
Thank You. |

| This feature is available in SyncSort for z/OS 1.3 via OUTREC DT or OUTREC DTNS. |

| I searched SYNCSORT Version 1.3 Manual. I could not find format CCYYDDD as input date filed. I could see YYDDD format only. |

Since I could not find CCYYDDD as input format. I ignored CC portion and wanted to test X'yyddds' format.
I used following sort statements.
| Code: |
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(10,3,Y2U,DTNS=(MD4)) |
The job ran fine. But Output got messed up. In My input file I was having date '88005' (though I was having 19 as CC at 9th Position in Packed Decimal format) in packed decimal format. I got the output as 01052088.
It should have been 01051988.
Could you please let me know how to correct this situation. |

Hello,
Please post a few input records, the output produced from those records and the output you wanted rather than what was produced.

There is a small correction to the required output format.
| Code: |
abcdefgh01/05/198801/06/1989pqrs
abcdefgg01/07/200001/08/2001abcc |

See the manual for CENTWIN parameter. It will allow you to define your own rules while converting 2 digit year to 4 digit year. It can be specified as a parm or in the control card itself.
Thanks,

Thank You Arun.
The following code worked for me.
| Code: |
SORT FIELDS=COPY,
CENTWIN=1949
OUTREC FIELDS=(10,3,Y2U,DT=(MD4/)) |
I am surprised to know that Latest Syncsort version also doesn't have
the CCYYDDD format for the input Date criteria and we have to use CENTWIN command to tackle this.
Thank You All for helping me to resolve this problem. |
