Hi Gurus,

Any utility will work for me as long as this Dataset is in a Cobol program readable format.
Dataset to contain just one record of LRECL 80 and contain 06/30/2009'.

This has to be done through a JCL and Utility, not manually.

I did try to search but did not get back any results. Not saying this has not been discussed before but I could not locate using the parameters I used for searching.

Thanks!
Vini

Hi Kolusu,

Date is to be constant as this JCL is going to be run for the first instance only like a one time only job. Subsequently the pgm is going to update the date each run.

Thanks!

The following DFSORT JCL will give you the desired results

Thanks Kolusu ..your a God sent for folks like me who resort to the forum each time we have some exotic stuff to be done using JCL. Very Happy

Most of the time we are copy paste gurus in regard to JCL Laughing

Frank has been equally instrumental in assisting with similar requests.

mmm... why could not you use ISPF 3.2 to have a file as you desire, I wonder.

Hi Kolusu,

Before I answer your question, I must have read this from very first post
