Hi,
I have to extract data of a particular date from a varibale length file. What should be the sort card for this ?

//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY

Thanks CICS Guy,
does that mean i don't have to worry the 4 byte RDW while specifing the field postion in the sort card as this is a VBS file ? |

You DO need to consider the RDW and add 4 bytes to the actual position for Variable length files. |

That means my sort card will become
Include cond=(63,5,PD,EQ.C'20100610')
instead of
Include cond=(59,5,PD,EQ,C'20100610')
as my field is S9(9) Comp-3.
Right ? |
