my requirement is to delete the records which are 1yr old.
eg: if today is 20100805, then in my file the records having the date 20090805 should not be there. |

If the file is sequential, you'll need to read each record, decide whether or not to keep it, then write the records to be kept to a new file.
If the file is VSAM KSDS, you can directly delete the records -- but you'll need logic to process through the file sequentially unless the date field is part of a key. |

| If sequential file, Read it untill end of file and check for the date. Its staright forward, let us know if you are struck somewhere while coding. |
