I wrote a small SORT JCL in which I tried to fetch the date and it worked.

Can someone please help me what operand I need to give in TRAILER1 if I just need previous month & current year e.g. 082017 or 201708 or 08/2017 or 2017/08

SORTOF1 DD mydataset

SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTFIL FNAMES=SORTOF1, REMOVECC, TRAILER1=(DATE)
