Hi,
I have a FB file of length 80 that has a date field in positions 10-15 - the date is in the format mmddyy.
I need to extract all records with the date greater than current date - 7 days (all records in the past week).
Is there a direct date check available for this?
Thanks in advance,
Aneesh. |

| No "one-step" solution that I know of. I think you'll have to use a COBOL intrinsic function to convert current date - 7 days to a date in yymmdd format, then read your input file also converting the dates there to yymmdd and do your compare. |
