Hi, we use Syncsort for z/OS v1.3.2. We receive a file (LRECL=80,RECFM=FB) with dates in it in CCYYMMDD format and need to check whether it belongs to Monday or Sunday.

Input:
Code:

20121008 20121014
20121023 20121028
20121105 20121113


As you could see, dates in 1st record belong to Monday and Sunday but in 2nd record start date is not Monday while end date is Sunday. In 3rd record, start date is Monday while end date is not Sunday. Is it possible to check the given dates and correct them to have Monday dates in start date and Sunday dates in end dates a week. icon_confused.gif

Expected Output:
Code:

20121008 20121014
20121022 20121028
20121105 20121112


Please help. Thanks.

Hello,

What if the dates are more than 6 days apart?

What if both dates are a Monday (or Friday)?

If I understand the TS correctly, heesh is stating:
  1. If date #1 does not fall on a Monday, change it to the latest date before it that does fall on a Monday
  2. If date #2 does not fall on a Sunday, change it to the earliest date after date #1 that does fall on a Sunday.
  3. Hi, Opal!

Well, if first date is a Monday, then 2nd date should be following Sunday.

If 2nd date is a Sunday, then first date should be the previous Monday.

So, if the first date is not a Monday AND the second date is not a Sunday....

Hello,

Looks like (to me) that even if something is implemented, it may not fill the actual need . . .

I agree with Mr. Scherrer that the requirement needs clarification. However, if the two rules ("Hi, Opal!" can be disregarded for this effort icon_biggrin.gif) are applied sequentially, I believe that they will cover all cases, even if the result is not always if desired.

Started experimenting by doing this but don't get satisfactory results icon_sad.gif

Code:

//STEP0001 EXEC PGM=SORT         
//SORTIN   DD *                   
20121106 20121111                     
//SYSIN    DD *                   
 OPTION COPY                     
 OUTREC FIELDS=(1:12,6,Y2T,SUB,+6)
//SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=*           
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*           


Output:
Code:

********************************* TOP OF DATA **********************************
       20121105                                                                 
******************************** BOTTOM OF DATA ********************************


Don't know why it does not sit at 1st position though I used "1:" in outrec icon_eek.gif icon_confused.gif Must be heading in wrong direction icon_rolleyes.gif

Thanks.

Round holes and square pegs...

How long would it have take you to do this in PL/I, Cobol or REXX?

Every time you do a calculation, if you do not specify a length for the result, you get the default length. The default length is 15 bytes.

seems that the trend is reversed now,
up to a certain time nobody was aware/was using the advanced sort capabilities
and a program was written even for a simple reformatting

now it is the other way around , sort, alway sort, forever sort icon_cool.gif

just wondering about ...
non auditability of <sort> processes ,
( no hardcopy track of changes )

<sort>s going thru the JCL promotion/approval process
rather than the APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT one

Hi Enrico,

Quote:

Oh, yes. . .
Far too many places have allowed this to speed up the promotion process icon_sad.gif

Many of my clients have no rules for documenting the "code" in sort-grams or other utility processes. Once upon a time the sort basically sorted stuff and maybe tossed duplicates. Maybe not much of an issue then. Now business rules are being implemented this way as well as "batch spufi" that gets around the the need for a database review of a new process or fix-it. . .

Oh, well . . .

don't know PL/I or REXX.....

Bill, got results with your suggestion.....
Code:

//STEP0001 EXEC PGM=SORT                     
//SORTIN   DD *                               
20121106 20121111                             
//SYSIN    DD *                               
 OPTION COPY                                 
 OUTREC FIELDS=(1:12,6,Y2T,SUB,+6,LENGTH=9)   
//SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=*                       
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                       


Any other suggestion on how do I check for Monday/Sunday?

Thanks.

I suggest that this states the reason, not only the existence of this thread, but for 99% of help boards.

Hi,

I doubt your date calculation is working, try this as an input
Code:
20121106 20121101                             


What is your result now ? Is it a valid date ?

The result I get is

Code:
20121095

Bill, thanks for the links.

Gerry, why would I subtract greater (20121106) value from lesser (20121101) value icon_confused.gif

Thanks.

Gerry, but I tried below values and got an invalid date icon_sad.gif

Sort:
Code:

//STEP0001 EXEC PGM=SORT           
//SORTIN   DD *                     
20121126 20121202                   
//SYSIN    DD *                     
 OPTION COPY                       
 OUTREC FIELDS=(1:12,6,Y2T,SUB,+6) 
//SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=*             
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*             


Output:
Code:

********************************* TOP OF DATA **********************************
       20121196                                                                 
******************************** BOTTOM OF DATA ********************************


Thanks.

It can be achieved in SYNCSORT 1.4.0.1R.. Not sure in 1.3.2...

The below code will give you Day for your Date Vales...

Code:

2. This Step will give your desire output...

Code:

//*

        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(25,3,CH,EQ,C'TUE'),
    OVERLAY=(25:C'MON ',14:DATEADD=(14,8,DTNS=(4MD),-1,DAY)))
  SORT FIELDS=COPY



Output:-

Code:

MON 20121008 20121014   SUN
MON 20121022 20121028   SUN
MON 20121105 20121112   MON


Note :- The above code is tested on SYNCSORT FOR Z/OS 1.4.0.1R

Hi 3nadh, Thank you very much.

Got the results with 1st solution you've provided icon_biggrin.gif
2nd solution failed because we are still at SYNCSORT FOR Z/OS 1.3.2.2R icon_sad.gif

Code:

SYSIN :                                                     
  INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,3,CH,EQ,C'TUE'),                     
    OVERLAY=(1:C'MON ',5:DATEADD=(5,8,DTNS=(4MD),-1,DAY))), 
                         *                                   
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(25,3,CH,EQ,C'TUE'),                   
    OVERLAY=(25:C'MON ',14:DATEADD=(14,8,DTNS=(4MD),-1,DAY)))
  SORT FIELDS=COPY

Wish you a great and bright Diwali.
