Hi,
I have a file which with data for seven years. Yearly I change my sort parameter to only get the last two years data. I was wondering if I could use &DATE to prevent remembering to change the parameters.
Currently the Sort Parameter look as follow:
PARM CURRENT:
Code:

 OMIT      COND=(06,02,CH,EQ,C'00',OR, 
                 06,02,CH,EQ,C'06',OR, 
                 06,02,CH,EQ,C'05',OR, 
                 06,02,CH,EQ,C'04',OR, 
                 06,02,CH,EQ,C'03',OR, 
                 06,02,CH,EQ,C'02',OR, 
                 06,02,CH,EQ,C'01')   

I cannot change it as follow since I must omit data for the previous 2 years not 24 months

prgaj1,

You cannot comapre &date2-m to Y2T date format. however you can add &Date2-24 at the end of every record and compare it.

Assuming your input file is FB and 80 byte lrecl

You can use the following DFSORT control cards

Code:


//SYSIN    DD *                                     
  SORT FIELDS=COPY                                   
  OUTREC OVERLAY=(81:&DATE2-24)                     
  OUTFIL BUILD=(1,80),INCLUDE=(3,4,Y2T,GE,83,4,Y2T) 
//*                                                 


Hope this helps...

Cheers
