I have a requirement.
This program/utility will run 7th of every month.What it should do is copy all records of GDG genertions which is having the last month dates as its one of the fields.
Example. GDG record contains a date field.Based on this we have to copy it to another file.Assume that the program runs on DEC 7th.if date field contain 20051123 we have to copy it to another file.if the date is 2001202 discard it.We can do this by comparing '11'(month field).But I want to run this program every month (and it should copy the records containing previous month dates) without changing anything.Can we do this using SORT/ICETOOL utility? |

| Quote: |
| I want to run this program every month |
so for this use this line
| Code: |
| //*MAIN DEADLINE=(TIME,B,DATE) |
DATE=012086 or 01/20/2000 like wise u can use the format.

Hi friend,
I didn't mean I have completed the program.I am expecting a solution using the utilities.I can handle it through the COBOL program no problem.
f I can handle it through utilities it will be good.That is why I posted the question. |

hi frnd,
To compare and do , i think going for cobol will help u more. its my suggession. and those utility can b used up to certain limit only. u cant get the o/p as u think. for sorting and the other thing u go for the utility and for the checking the date and other manipulation app prog will be less headache for u. Got it. |

Create a Job which runs on every 7th of the month. That JOb will accepts the run a rexx step. This rexx will scan the version name of all the GDGs & prepare your JCL with previous month versions. After that it will submit that JCL.
By that your problem will get solved i think. |

mainframeraja,
Yes, you can do this with DFSORT.
What is the starting position, length and format of the yyyymmdd date field?
What is the RECFM and LRECL of the input file? |
