Hi ,
Is There any method to determine the Previous Month Range in Sort ,
ie , i need to obtain the Records from my input file whose transactions were posted in the last one month alone...
Ex..
If Current RUn date is 07-August 2008
Then i should extract records with dates for the previous month which is 01-July-2008 to 31-july-2008 and not as 07-july-2208 till current date!!!
similarly if current run date is March , then i should extract records for the Feb Month..which means 01-02-2008 to 29-02-2008...
All this Dynamically...
More importantly is knowing the Range od the previuos month rather than the day in the previous month....

VIGNRSH,
The following DFSORT JCL will give you the desired results. I assumed that your input is FB and 80 bytes in length. I assumed that your input is DD-MM-CCYY format.
Using INREC we add last month first date using Date2-1 (ccyymmdd) and current date(ccyymmdd) using Date1 and reformat the input file date to CCYYMMDD and now using an include cond on outfil we pick the date range records
