Getting the previous date.
Posted: Sat Jul 06, 2013 3:16 pm
Hi,
i have a back up job that uses a symbolic. and this symbolic is for the julian date of the dataset also the system when running the jobs does not use any job scheduler.
below is the code.
would there be a way on how to get the previous date and set it as a value of the symbolic DATE? I think the proper word for it is, would there be a way on creating an automated job wherein i don't need to change the DATE value on everytime i executed my job?
