Is it feasible to insert the last day of the month in the output file?

Code:

//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(1:4X,5:&DATE1,5,8,Y4T,LASTDAYM,TOGREG=Y4T(-),15:&TIME2(:))
/*


I received the error overlapping fields, but I need the date in position 5 and would like to accomplish this, if possible, in one pass thru.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! icon_biggrin.gif icon_smile.gif

Code:
OUTREC OVERLAY=(5:DATE1,5:5,8,Y4T,LASTDAYM,TOGREG=Y4T(-),15:TIME2(:))

Output:
Code:

Thanks, Joerg.Findeisen!

Is it possible to get the last day for the previous month as well? I tried to subtract 1 but it did days, so I changed to DATE2 and it didn't work.

Code:

5:DATE2-1,5:5,6,Y4T,LASTDAYM,TOGREG=Y4T(-),

This will do:
Code:
OPTION COPY                                                   
OUTREC OVERLAY=(1:DATE1,1:1,8,Y4T,SUBDAYS,7,2,ZD,TOGREG=Y4T(-),
                TIME2(:))

Joerg.Findeisen, you're the best!

Thanks! icon_biggrin.gif icon_biggrin.gif icon_biggrin.gif icon_biggrin.gif icon_biggrin.gif icon_biggrin.gif icon_biggrin.gif

Also, I found out that this works as well (in case the business wants different month end dates).
Code:

OPTION COPY
OUTREC OVERLAY=(1:DATE2-2,C'01',1:1,8,Y4T,LASTDAYM,TOGREG=Y4T(-),TIME2(:))

I would have used the following code snippet for different months back or forth:
Code:
OPTION COPY                                               
OUTREC OVERLAY=(1:DATE1,1:1,8,Y4T,SUBMONS,+2,TOGREG=Y4T, 
                1:1,8,Y4T,LASTDAYM,TOGREG=Y4T(-),TIME2(:))
END
