As you appear to have query relating to a sort product why have you posted in the JCL forum and not the appropriate sort forum. Sort is not JCL and JCL is not sort. Moving to DFSORT forum.

If you tell us the sample input and confirm if its at fixed position then you can simply reformat using INREC OVERLAY and in OUTFIL BUILD you can INCLUDE what you want.

Thankyou for all you suggestions.

I've reformatted my input date layout from MM/DD/YYYY to Date1 and used the Date functions as per my requirement.
