Sureet Mookherjee,
Which sort product do you have? And what version is it? You can find this info in the SYSOUT of any job run.
Does your date field start at a fixed position in the input file? It would be better if you post the sample data/code in "Code" tags. |

I tried with the data provided by you and working fine for me.
ooh, I have not seen your last post, I am using DFSORT and yours is SYNCSORT. I am not sure about syntax of SYNCSORT. Please wait for other responses. |

I doubt that even if you have DFSORT. You are comparing dates and not numeric values. And how do you expect it to work with a format ddmmyy.
As per your card 010180(01-Jan-1980) will be less than 020150(02-Jan-1950). |

Arun,
Thanks for the feedback. I have not considered all the cases, just i checked with the data he has provided and also checked with the following data to descard the record which has less than 010180. I have considered date format MMDDYY and worked fine for me. I can post the output also if you want to see.
| Code: |
CODY BANKS 010175
JAMES BOND 042904
MILLER KING 011580
CHARLES WRIGHT 111600

It might have worked for the sample you used. See how the code posted by you is "working" for this input. This WILL NOT work if you're really trying to compare dates.
| Code: |
CODY BANKS 010175
JAMES BOND 020175
MILLER KING 030175
CHARLES WRIGHT 040175 |

IMHO the solution should be against the requirement rather than just a sample of 4-5 records. It should work for any possible input |

Sureet Mookherjee,
The below SyncSort job should work for your requirement.
| Code: |
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=SORT,PARM='CENTWIN=1950'
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
DEC 01 1975 120275
DEC 02 1976 120276
DEC 31 1979 123179
JAN 01 1980 010180
JAN 02 1980 010280
DEC 01 1989 120289
APR 29 2004 042904
JAN 15 1980 011580
NOV 16 2000 111600
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
INCLUDE COND=(20,6,Y2W,GT,800101)
/* |
SORTOUT
| Code: |
JAN 02 1980 010280
