Hi,

I have a flat file with records having a date field (CCYY-MM-DD format).
The file will have data for a particular month (say September) and few records from next month (say October).

I have a monthly Job which will run on every 7th of a month and it needs to process data for the prior month.

In above scenario, on 7th October, I need to process data only for September month. Any records for October should be written to a separate file for next months processing.

Is this something I can achieve through SORT -
If the date field from the input file falls on or in between first or end date of the prior month then write to an output file
If Greater then End date of the prior month, then write off to another file.

Thanks

Hi,

The below code gives you two files. First file with previous month data & Second file with Current month data.
Code:
//STEP10   EXEC PGM=ICETOOL                       
//*                                               
//TOOLMSG      DD  SYSOUT=*                       
//DFSMSG       DD  SYSOUT=*                       
//*                                               
//I1           DD *                               
2010-09-10                                       
2010-10-02                                       
2010-09-01                                       
2010-10-04                                       
2010-09-10                                       
/*                                               
//*                                               
//M1      DD SYSOUT=*                             
//M2      DD SYSOUT=*                             
//TOOLIN   DD  *    *** CONSTANT CONTROL CARDS ***
  COPY FROM(I1) TO(M1) USING(CTL1)               
/*                                               
//CTL1CNTL DD *                                   
  OUTFIL FNAMES=M1,INCLUDE=(1,7,CH,EQ,DATE2(-)-1)
  OUTFIL FNAMES=M2,INCLUDE=(1,7,CH,EQ,DATE2(-))   
/*                                               

Output File 1(Previous Month data):
Code:
2010-09-10
2010-09-01
2010-09-10

Output File 2 (Current Month data):
Code:
2010-10-02
2010-10-04

Hope this helps you.

Figured out that the input date layout is not CCYY-MM-DD.
It is MM/DD/CCYY.

I can change the format to CCYYMMDD first, use the date logic and then revert back the date format.

Is there a better way to do it?

Thanks

Assumed LRECL=80, RECFM=FB. The below JCL will give desire output.
Code:
//STEP10   EXEC PGM=ICETOOL                                   
//*                                                           
//TOOLMSG      DD  SYSOUT=*                                   
//DFSMSG       DD  SYSOUT=*                                   
//*                                                           
//I1           DD *

  INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,OVERLAY=(81:7,4,6,1,1,5))           
  OUTFIL FNAMES=M1,INCLUDE=(81,7,CH,EQ,DATE2(/)-1),BUILD=(1,80)

/*                                                             

Hope this helps you.
