Above example 1/31 and 2/28 12/31 marked as M - meaning month-end last business day, this was done manually.
The goal is if month-end falls on a weekend the M indicator has to advance to last business day of the month, in the above example, Feb 29 falls on Saturday and hence moved to 28th Feb.
I tried writing a sort not getting an idea if this not possible then I will write Cobol.

If you download the Smart DFSORT Tricks paper from https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/smart-dfsort-tricks you can find code to provide the weekday for a date; you can also find out how to subtract days from a date. The two of these, combined, should provide what you need. Note, however, that if the last business day of the month is actually a holiday (as does happen every now and then), there is no way DFSORT (or any other sort package) can know about the holiday. If this is a concern, writing code in the language of your choice might be the best solution since you can take into account the holiday schedule.

Magesh,
What happens if the LAST FRIDAY of the month is also a holiday? For example the day after Thanks giving. In 2030 Thanksgiving day is Thursday , November 28 and Friday November 29th is a holiday. In that case would you go back to using Novemeber 27th as the Last business day?
Also do you have the dates already generated, or do you need to generate it for every year? _________________ Kolusu

Robert,
The only day that can happen to be a holiday is the day after thanks giving. None of the other last day of the month dates are official holidays (at least in USA) and that is easy to handle. I already mentioned the Thanksgiving holiday issue in 2030. In 2030 Thanksgiving day is Thursday , November 28 and Friday November 29th is a holiday. _________________ Kolusu

Magesh,
I went ahead and coded a job to generate the dates for a year that you can pass as a parm. It does some validation YEAR > 0 and YEAR <= 9999 and then generates the dates for that year along with tagging the last business day of the month. It does even handle the thanks giving day issue.
Code:

Note that, although irrelevant to Magesh's scenario, Good Friday may also be a holiday in some jurisdictions and otherwise be the last business day.
I used to have a PL/1 program that did all the holidays and business days for the UK but it will be out of date now - holidays moved/added. Easy-peasy in Rexx. _________________ Utility and Program control cards are NOT, repeat NOT, JCL.

Nic,
How did you manage the Good Friday calculation ? Varying equinox dates and Paschal Full Moon date? I would really appreciate if you can share the logic to calculate Good Friday Date? _________________ Kolusu

Thank you very much for the code, After testing I realized there are other indicators also involved.
1. Weekly - Every Friday
2. Ten-day - Every 10th day
if weekly and 10th day falls on the same day, the indicator should 'WT'
if Friday alone and not 10th day then indicator should be 'W'
if 10th day is not Friday then indicator should be 'T'
if 10th days fall on the weekend, then the indicator should advance to Friday.
if month-end falls on Friday then 'WM'
Also, I realized the date in position 2,8 MMDDYYYY
The actual input file looks like this.
Code:
input file looks like this

I missed noticing this, also the indicator needs to be set up in the 63rd position, with the help of your code, I tried doing the same logic for the tenth day and weekly indicator.
IFTHEN=(WHEN=(04,02,CH,LE,C'10'), -- 10TH DAY
OVERLAY=(107:95,2,C'10',
99,4,115:107,8,Y4W,WEEKDAY=CHAR3),HIT=NEXT),
IFTHEN=(WHEN=(04,02,CH,GT,C'10',AND, -- 20TH DAY
04,02,CH,LE,C'20'),
OVERLAY=(107:95,2,C'20',99,4,
115:107,8,Y4W,WEEKDAY=CHAR3),
HIT=NEXT),
*** -- ADV TO PREVFRI
IFTHEN=(WHEN=(115,3,SS,EQ,C'SAT,SUN'), -- FOR 10 TH DAY

Magesh,
If you need to tag every 10th day, why not the 30th ? For example July 30 2020 is a Thursday and July 31st 2020 is a Friday. So shouldn't you be tagging July 30 2020 as "T" and July 31 2020 as "WM" ?

You do realize that you can do the date calculations even on Y2x dates? In your case you can use Y2W format. Something like this
Code:
02,6,Y2W,LASTDAYM,TOGREG=Y2W
You just need to adjust your Y2past value. If you have Y2PAST=2010 then your CENTURY WINDOW FOR Y2 FORMAT FIELDS IS FROM 2010 TO 2109

Please advise, if I am missing or overdoing anything.
Again sorry !!!, I should have given these requirements in the first request.

Magesh
Well you are a member for a long time, and it is a rookie mistake of not telling the entire requirements. Either way, I think the control cards can be optimized.
Let me know the rule for handling 30th and also the DCB properties of the input and output files. _________________ Kolusu

30th they didn't consider it as 'T' because they are handling the logic through 'M' every month end.

This I learned today, thanks, then we can use Y2W itself because we are going to do it for a future date only we never gonna execute this for a past date.

Magesh_J,
Not quite right as I have shown the example of July 30 2020 and July 31 2020. You will run into such instances with all the months that 31 days (Jan, Mar,May, July, Aug, Oct and Dec) _________________ Kolusu
