Append date in the File

Postby trilochan_p » Thu Feb 16, 2012 5:28 pm

Hi,

I have below piece of code in the NDM step and i wanted to append date in the send file (NONEIS-MMDDYYYY).
Please suggest the code changes to add date in the To file.

NDMAPGXK PROCESS SNODE=LIBCDS01.LIB PNODE=CIGNAT                       
STEP1 COPY FROM (PNODE DSN=CEA4.APR00.RCPDSD09.OFAC(0)         -       
               DISP=SHR)                                             -
           COMPRESS EXT                                              -
 TO  (SNODE DSN='\\USLIBFS302\LIBFS44K\OFAC\NONEIS.TXT'              -
           SYSOPTS="STRIP.BLANKS(NO)"                                -
               DISP=RPL) 


Thanks & Regards,
Tilu

The Symbolic Variable %SUBDATE3 can be used for a mmddyyyy current submitted-date format. You'll have to build a variable string in your process.

NDMAPGXK PROCESS SNODE=LIBCDS01.LIB PNODE=CIGNAT -   
                     DATE=%SUBDATE3     
                     SYMBOL &FILE='\\USLIBFS302\LIBFS44K\OFAC\NONEIS-'.&DATE
STEP1 COPY FROM (PNODE DSN=CEA4.APR00.RCPDSD09.OFAC(0)         -       
               DISP=SHR)                                             -
           COMPRESS EXT                                              -
TO  (SNODE DSN=&FILE -
           SYSOPTS="STRIP.BLANKS(NO)"                                -
               DISP=RPL) 


for example. You're going to have to work out the logisitics of keeping those imbedded single-quotes that you need for the target filename.

Thanks for your suggestions.

In the mentioned code .txt is missing, If i include .txt then is the code will b as mentioned below:

SYMBOL &FILE='\\USLIBFS302\LIBFS44K\OFAC\NONEIS-'.&DATE.'TXT' -

Instead of decalring sysmbolic variable, can i include below code in the process step it sel, Is it fine.
TO (SNODE DSN='\\USLIBFS302\LIBFS44K\OFAC\NONEIS-'.&DATE.'.TXT' -

What happened when you tried?
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.

Hi,

I have tried with this code (SNODE DSN='\\USLIBFS302\LIBFS44K\OFAC\NONEIS-'.&DATE..TXT) and
have got this output (\\USLIBFS302\LIBFS44K\OFAC\NONEIS-.02222012.TXT)

Here i am getting dot symbol while adding date in the file name, i have tried so many options to remove this dot sysmbol but not able got success.

Please suggest the code changes to remove this dot symbol in between the file name and date.

Hello,

I have no way to test this, but what happens if you remove the "dot" between the quote and &date?
Hope this helps,
d.sch.
