I have a requirement where the date in the input file which is stored in PD format has to be compared with a specific date and replaced with that date if the input date is lesser than the given date.
the layout of the input file starts like this and this is the first field of the input file.
05 X-KEY-1.
10 X-EFF-DATE PIC S9(09) COMP-3.
So, I have used the below code to achieve this in my JCL
SORT FIELDS=COPY
INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(1,5,PD,LE,20201111),
OVERLAY=(1:C'20201111'))
but the overridden output gets stored in the ZONED DECIMAL format instead of Packed decimal format. Could you please suggest me how to replace the date - '20201111' in PD format in the output file. |

If this is a constant, the simple way is, to specify the packed decimal as its hex value.
| Code: |
| ...OVERLAY=(1:X’020201111C’) |

Probably, the packed constant P’20201111’ should work, too.
Just never tried it. |

I would suggest to use JPn if you have a constant date. If the Date changes in future then only JCL changes.
| Code: |
// SET DATE1='20201111'
//S1 EXEC PGM=SORT,PARM='JP1"&DATE1"'
//*
//SORTIN DD *
TEST REC
//SORTOUT DD DSN=OUTPUT DSN
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
INREC OVERLAY=(81:JP1,81,8,ZD,PD,LENGTH=5)
