Record Date Difference in OUTREC

[bmalek]

Hello all

I have a JCL that splits an input file into multiple output files and counts how many times this is done by adding a 1 to the OUTREC in various buckets:

Code: Select all

 SORT FIELDS=(37,8,CH,A,9,6,CH,A)                           
  OUTFIL FILES=(1),                                         
* FILE(1) HAS NEW TRANSMISSIONS (0 DAYS OLD)
  INCLUDE=(9,6,CH,LE,C'YYMMDD(0)',AND,                     
      9,6,CH,GT,C'YYMMDD(-1)'),                             
  OUTREC=(37,8,C'00001',C'00000',C'00000',C'00000',C'00000',
               C'00000',C'00000',C'00000',C'00000',C'00001')

The above is repeated for various age buckets.

I am trying to add the age of the record in the OUTREC, but cannot figure out how to do that based on DATEDIFF or any other methods. The date of the record starts at character 9 for 6 chars and the INCLUDE processes them correctly so I know it should be possible... Any help is greatly appreciated!

You do not have a JCL that does what you say - you have sort control cards that do what you say. Topic moved to DFSort. If you use another sort product then let us know.

I'm using SyncSort, but I cannot figure out how to move the topic to that forum... Thanks!
