Hi,

I have a fixed block input file which is of length 117 and on position 54, there is a year field. This field can have the current year, or current year+1 , or current year+2.

I have a requirement to split the input file in a single step to 3 different files based on the value of the year field on position 54.

I have gone through the other related posts which explains DATE1 and DATE3 parameters, but could not figure out how to compare the field with only the year-part and do the manipulation. Also, if I do with SYMNAMES, then I need to change it every year. So, I am trying to avoid any manual inntervention every year.

Can you please help me achieving this requirement,
Thanks,
Pranabesh

Here's a DFSORT job that will do what you asked for. It will create the correct Symbols for the three years automatically based on the current year (e.g. 2007 today, 2008 tomorrow).

Code:

//S1    EXEC  PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
RECORD
/*
//SORTOUT DD DSN=&&S1,UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,(1,1)),DISP=(,PASS)
//SYSIN    DD    *
  OPTION COPY
  INREC BUILD=(DATE2)
  OUTFIL BUILD=(C'YR1,+',1,4,80:X,/,
    C'YR2,+',1,4,ZD,ADD,+1,TO=ZD,LENGTH=4,/,
    C'YR3,+',1,4,ZD,ADD,+2,TO=ZD,LENGTH=4)
/*
//S2    EXEC  PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYMNAMES DD DSN=&&S1,DISP=(OLD,PASS)
//SORTIN DD DSN=...  input file
//OUT1 DD DSN=...  ouput file1 (current year)
//OUT2 DD DSN=...  ouput file1+1 (current year+1)
//OUT3 DD DSN=...  ouput file1+2 (current year+2)
//SYSIN    DD    *
  OPTION COPY
  OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT1,INCLUDE=(54,4,ZD,EQ,YR1)
  OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT2,INCLUDE=(54,4,ZD,EQ,YR2)
  OUTFIL FNAMES=OUT3,INCLUDE=(54,4,ZD,EQ,YR3)
/*
