Write record in PS through JCL

Postby durgac » Thu Nov 08, 2007 8:36 pm

I wanted to write the current timestamp into a dataset through JCL. Can this be done? Could any one help me out?

Where are you getting this 'timestamp'?
Can sort header/trailer processing against a dummy input give you what you want?

Here's a DFSORT job that will write the current date in the form 'yyyymmdd' in an output record.

//S1    EXEC  PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
RECORD
//SORTOUT DD DSN=...  output file (FB/8)
//SYSIN    DD    *
  OPTION COPY
  INREC BUILD=(DATE1)
/*


If you want something else, be more specific about what you want (form of date, RECFM and LRECL of output data set, etc).

For 'mmddyyyy', you can use this DFSORT INREC statement:

  INREC BUILD=(DATENS=(MD4))

Sigh. Why didn't you say what you actually wanted in your first post or subsequent posts? It's not clear how what you've said you want so far has to do with your statement "i am comparing date fields".

However, if you want the current date - 60 days in the form 'mmddyyyy', you can use these DFSORT statements:

//S1    EXEC  PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSOUT    DD  SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
RECORD
//SORTOUT DD DSN=... output file (FB/8)
//SYSIN    DD    *
  OPTION COPY
  INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,BUILD=(DATE1-60)),
    IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT,BUILD=(5,4,1,4))
/*


If that isn't what you want, then explain in detail exactly what it is you want to do.
