I have tried one of the examples in the paper using DATE field arithmetic but could not get it. Below are the details about the version updated in my environment.
Code:
Z/OS DFSORT V1R5 - 08:00 ON MON NOV 29, 2010
Below are details from the DFSMSG,
Code:
ICE000I 0 - CONTROL STATEMENTS FOR 5694-A01, Z/OS DFSORT V1R5 - 08:00 ON MON NOV

Could you please advise me whether i do have these options to perform date field arithmetic?

AFAIK, z/OS DFSORT V1R10 is used for z/OS 1.10-1.11. z/OS DFSORT V1R12 is used for z/OS 1.12. These are the only currently supported releases of DFSORT - so you seem to use an old version of DFSort and the error mesages clearly says, you don't have latest PTF to get those options working for you.
You should also look at the mesasge of type ICE201I, to determine which level of DFSORT functions you have available.

Alex,
z/OS DFSORT V1R5 is no longer supported, so the date arithmetic PTF is not available for that release. You should be using one of the supported releases - z/OS DFSORT V1R10 or z/OS DFSORT V1R12. The date arithmetic PTF is available for both of those releases.
