this is really a different question icon_biggrin.gif

still somebody has to do it ( the parameter change - I mean )
make it a two step job,
the first one building dynamically the control cards
the second the real thing
or use a scheduler facilities for parameter generation

It's amazing how quickly developers have returned to 2 digit years and unsortable, uncomparable date formats.

Hi,

here is one way to generate the include statement
Code:
//S1       EXEC PGM=SORT                                               
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*                                                 
//SORTIN   DD *

/*                                                                     
//SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=*                                                 
//SYSIN    DD *                                                         
  OPTION COPY                                                           
  INREC OVERLAY=(81:DATE1,                                             
  1:C' INCLUDE COND=(1,80,SS,EQ,C''',32:83,2,34:C''')')                 
  OUTREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(85,2,CH,EQ,C'01'),                               
                OVERLAY=(029:C'JAN')),                                 
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(85,2,CH,EQ,C'02'),

        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(85,2,CH,EQ,C'03'),                               
                OVERLAY=(029:C'MAR')),                                 
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(85,2,CH,EQ,C'04'),                               
                OVERLAY=(029:C'APR')),                                 
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(85,2,CH,EQ,C'05'),

        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(85,2,CH,EQ,C'06'),                               
                OVERLAY=(029:C'JUN')),                   
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(85,2,CH,EQ,C'07'),                 
                OVERLAY=(029:C'JUL')),                   
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(85,2,CH,EQ,C'08'),                 
                OVERLAY=(029:C'AUG')),                   
        IFTHEN=(WHEN=(85,2,CH,EQ,C'09'),

 OUTFIL BUILD=(1,80)

If somebody has to think about it again, it will be in 2099 and I think nobody expects to be here by the time... icon_lol.gif
But, only 9 years have passed since the end of last century and you still have to deal with those dates.

Srini,

Assuming you want to test for monyy where mon is the current month and yy is the current year, here's a better DFSORT job to do what you asked for.

Code:

//S1    EXEC  PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
RECORD
/*
//SORTOUT DD DSN=&&S1,UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,(1,1)),DISP=(,PASS)
//SYSIN    DD    *
  OPTION COPY
  INREC IFOUTLEN=80,
   IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,BUILD=(DATE2)),
   IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,
    BUILD=(C'TDATE,''',
      5,2,CHANGE=(3,C'01',C'jan',C'02',C'feb',C'03',C'mar',
       C'04',C'apr',C'05',C'may',C'06',C'jun',C'07',C'jul',
       C'08',C'aug',C'09',C'sep',C'10',C'oct',C'11',C'nov',
       C'12',C'dec'),3,2,C''''))
/*
//S2  EXEC  PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYMNAMES DD DSN=&&S1,DISP=(OLD,PASS)
//SORTIN DD DSN=... input file (FB/80)
//SORTOUT DD DSN=...  output file (FB/80)
//SYSIN    DD    *
  OPTION COPY
  INCLUDE COND=(1,80,SS,EQ,TDATE)
/*

Thanks much for all your suggestions.

I would have mentioned before, but any way the file i have to use is LRECL=4096, BLKSIZE=4096 it's an CSV file.

      5,2,CHANGE=(3,C'01',C'jan',C'02',C'feb',C'03',C'mar',

       C'08',C'aug',C'09',C'sep',C'10',C'oct',C'11',C'nov',
       C'12',C'dec'),3,2,C''''))

Frank,
Thanks much.

quick clarifications again:
1. Does the input/output files should be FB or can i use VB also?
2. Does there is a way to pick exact column wise values instead of checking entire row giving as 1,4096 in input card.

Please clarify.

VB would be slightly different. Whereas for FB, you'd use 1,n, in the INCLUDE statement, for VB you'd use 5,n-4. You would probably also want to use VLSCMP for VB:

Code:

   OPTION VLSCMP

Yes, of course - that's the simpler case. You would just use:

Code:

   INCLUDE COND=(p,5,EQ,EQ,TDATE)


where p is the starting position.

If you're not familiar with DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL, I'd suggest reading through "z/OS DFSORT: Getting Started". It's an excellent tutorial, with lots of examples, that will show you how to use DFSORT, DFSORT's ICETOOL and DFSORT Symbols. You can access it online, along with all of the other DFSORT books, from:

I am trying to us jcl

Code:

//S2  EXEC  PGM=ICETOOL                       
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*                       
//*SYMNAMES DD DSN=&&S1,DISP=(OLD,PASS)       
//SORTIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=XXXX.NNNN.PPPPPP 
//SORTOUT DD DISP=SHR,DSN=XXXX.NNNN.PPPPPP
//SYSIN    DD    *                             
  OPTION COPY VLSCMP                           
  INCLUDE COND=(5,4092,SS,EQ,C'MAY08')         
/*     


XXXX.NNNN.PPPPPP - is VB length of 4096.

but unable to get the required output.

want to check with hard coding month&yr instead of generating in previous for testing purpose but RC:20

You have PGM=ICETOOL instead of PGM=ICEMAN. PGM=ICETOOL requires different DD statements which explains why you got the RC=20 (no message data set).

It appears you are trying to use the same data set for input and output. You shouldn't do that with COPY.

Also, you have a blank instead of a comma between COPY and VLSCMP so VLSCMP is ignored as a remark.

Your job should look like this:

Code:

//S2  EXEC  PGM=ICEMAN                       
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*                       
//*SYMNAMES DD DSN=&&S1,DISP=(OLD,PASS)       
//SORTIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=XXXX.NNNN.PPPPPP 
//SORTOUT DD DSN=...  output file
//SYSIN    DD    *                             
  OPTION COPY,VLSCMP                           
  INCLUDE COND=(5,4092,SS,EQ,C'MAY08')         
/*

Methinks that the WER* message codes indicates that you are using SYNCSORT not DFSORT
