Within a record, I need to replace the following characters 'YYMMDD' with the actual date. Below is what I'm currently using to do this;
| Code: |
| OUTREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=(44,6,CH,EQ,C'YYMMDD'),OVERLAY=(44:DATENS=(YMD))) |
Is there a way to do this if 'YYMMDD' does not start in column 44?
I would like to do something like below;
| Code: |
| OUTREC FINDREP=(IN=C'YYMMDD',OUT=DATENS=(YMD)) |
however, this doesn't work. I'm assuming FINDREP will only work with literals |

This should work for you:
| Code: |
//WHATEVER EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYMNAMES DD *
YMD,S'&LYYMMDD.'
/*
//SYMNOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
YYMMDD
YYMMDD
YYMMDD
/*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
INREC FINDREP=(INOUT=(C'YYMMDD',YMD))
END

| If you have to use not the current date, a two step solution is needed. There is a sample somewhere in the forum we have provided some time ago. |
