Have you seen anywhere in the documentation https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/SS4PJT_6.1.0/cd_zos_PDF/cd_61_zos_pdf.pdf any hints that a date calculation is possible within C:D?

If not, please use other means (SORT?) and provide the necessary input for C:D

I managed to write the below to a file:

Code:

****************************
//SET DT1=07062021
****************************


But when i try to substiute the date into &DD1 the connect direct step it doesn't accept the substitution:

Code:

Actual Output --> /PATH1/PATH2/FILENAME_DT1.TXT
Expected Output -->/PATH1/PATH2/FILENAME_07082021.TXT


Code:

SET DT1=07062021

SIGNON
     SUBMIT PROC = PROG1111
     CASE=YES
     &DATE=DT1
SIGNOFF

STEP1    PROCESS
         SYMBOL &RDSN=\'/PATH1/PATH2/FILENAME_'\
         SYMBOL &DATE=&DT1
         SYMBOL &TXT=.TXT
         SYMBOL &SDSN=FILENAME.G0001V00

STEP2   COPY FROM(PNODE DSN=&SDSN DISP=SHR
             DCB=(REC=FB, LRECL=3200,BLKSIZE=3200,DSORG=PS))
             TO(SNODE DSN="&RDSN.&DATE.&TXT" DISP=RPL
             DCB=(REC=FB, LRECL=3200,BLKSIZE=3200,DSORG=PS))

A complete mess between text constants, and text variables.
Please, try to manage your code garbage yourself.
