I want to do a if check with current day of the week.

My requirement is : If current day is "MON" , I need to write DATE4- 3 in the output file.
If current day is not equal to "MON" , i need to write DATE4 - 1 in output file.

I am using the below sort jcl

Your understanding of the use of SYMNAMES is flawed.

The comparison should first specify a field in the record being input to SORT, not the field identified by SYMNAMES.

e.g. WHEN=(1,3,CH,EQ,C'MON')

or if SYMNAMES defines CUR_DAY,1,3 then WHEN=(CUR_DAY,CH,EQ,C'MON') syntax will translate to WHEN=(1,3,CH,EQ,C'MON').
