Hello,
I would like to insert the current date into a header record using OUTREC BUILD but I can't find the correct code for the date format in European DD.MM.YYYY
In DFSORT APG (page 108) it indicates that DATE1(.) would do the trick for YYYY.MM.DD - but there is no syntax for this date format to be in reverse.
Does anyone know where I could find this information please?
Many thanks |

Richard J,
You need to use DATE=(ABCD) format which lets you have the date any format you want. Read about it here DATE=(abcd) format
| Code: |
//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
RICHARD J
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTFIL REMOVECC,HEADER1=('DATE IN EUROPEAN FORMAT : ',DATE=(MD4.))
//* |
