Giving date as a qualifier in a dataset name

Hi All,

Is it possible to create a dataset with date qualifier ? I do not want to do it manually. An example for a dataset name:

PROD.ATM.30092005.NVSAM

30092005 is the date format I want.

Thanks in advance,
Hyuzen

This will not work. Each segment must begin with a letter or #. The segmant would have to be generated with a program, perhaps CLIST or ReXX.

As jon_s_rice said, you can't have a dataset node with 8 numeric characters. You'll have to re-think your requirements. However, since this is the DFSORT forum, I'll offer a template DFSORT job to do what you want:

Here's another way to do it with DFSORT:

Oops! My bad. A little cut-and-paste error (the test DID work).
