Sort the data in descending order and pick the greater values from the top ?

Its the idea order with sort and cut the first register with stopatf.
This idea is in 2 steps and i need this in one step.

Roke,

Post detailed information on what you're trying to accomplish. Do not make people guess what you mean. This will give you a much better chance of getting a good answer to your question.

Please post a sample input and desired output along with DCB parameters(LRecl, recfm) and position of the string to be processed

Oks, sorry for my english.

I have a data set with this registers:

2004-12-31
2004-09-11
2005-01-01
2005-02-05

For example and i want a jcl that can take the greater date, the result should be a data set that contains "2005-02-05"

But the problem is that i have to all in the same step in the jcl because the jcl have a lot steps and i can write only one step more.

Sorry for my bads explications but my english isnt very well Sad

Roke,

The following JCL will give you the desired results.

Here's a DFSORT job that does the same thing using COPY instead of SORT. It uses the new UFF (unsigned free form) format available with z/OS DFSORT V1R5 PTF UQ95214 and DFSORT R14 PTF UQ95213 (Dec, 2004).
