Hi,
I have requirement to retrieve records with current date.
step1 : Retrieved date from my date file using easytrieve as below
//TODAYDT EXEC EZTPCLGO
//DATEIN DD DSN=DATEFILE,DISP=SHR
//DATEOUT DD DSN=TODAY.DATE.PSFILE,DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// DCB=(LRECL=5,BLKSIZE=0,RECFM=FB,DSORG=PS),
// SPACE=(TRK,(1,1),RLSE),UNIT=SYSDA
//SYSIN DD *
FILE DATEIN VS
D-TODAY 16 5 P
FILE DATEOUT
OUT-TODAY-DT 1 5 P
JOB INPUT(NULL)
GET DATEIN
OUT-TODAY-DT = D-TODAY
PUT DATEOUT
STOP
now the file TODAY.DATE.PSFILE of length 5 is have current date.
//STEP001 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SORTIN DD DSN=TODAY.DATE.PSFILE,DISP=SHR
//SYMNAMES DD *
TODAYDT,'TODAY.DATE.PSFILE'
/*
I have to use the above value TODAYDT in the below sort step(WHEN) to build my records with current date.
SORT FIELDS=(1,18,CH,A)
OUTFIL IFTHEN=(WHEN=
(19,2,CH,EQ,C'10',AND,
210,1,CH,EQ,C'2',AND
265,05,PD,EQ,TODAYDT),
BUILD=(1:1,45))
How can I use the SYMNAMES? Please suggest.
TIA |

No. It is a sensible system which uses a date file, not relying on the system date which, daily, changes at the most inopportune moments.
tvinodkumar7,
Probably the easiest thing to do would be to format the symbol in the Easytrieve Plus program. LRECL 80, REFCM FB. |
