Hi All,

Please help me to solve the requirement, From the input file we have to pull records in the date range( greater or equal june-01-2007 and less or equal OCT-31-2010)

Sample file
in_date(mmddyy)...
1----- 6---------------80
102907
110507
121108
111908
120309
121008
121508

I tried with the below code but , not giving the correct results.
sort fileds=copy
include cond=(1,6,ZD,GT,060107 and 1,6,ZD,LE,083110)

120309 is GT 060107 but its not LT 083110

Please let me know how we can pull the records in the date range mention ie GE,060107 and LE, 083110

rohanatl,

You need to use Y2W format instead of ZD format. Isn't OCT the 10th month of the year? You say october and you use 08 as month. use the following DFSORT JCL. use Y'date' in yymmdd format to compare.
