I can output a field from an OUTREC statement using DFOSRT using DATE(YMD.) producing YY.MM.DD but what if I only want the Year and Month without and separator?

example: 0807 (July 08)


Any help would be appreciated.

You can create a DFSORT symbol for 'yymm' and use it in OUTREC like this:

Code:

//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*
//SYMNAMES DD *
YM,S'&YR2.&MON'
/*
//SORTIN DD DSN=... input file
//SORTOUT DD DSN=...  output file
//SYSIN   DD   *
   OPTION COPY
   OUTREC BUILD=(YM)
/*
