Hi,

I would like to append the current date in a file in the format YYYYMM.
DATENS=(4MD) gives the date in YYYYMMDD format.
YYYDDNS=(4D) gives the date in YYYYDDD format.

However, I am unable to find a format which gives date in YYYYMM or YYYY Only format.

Any pointers on this will be of great help.

Thanks in advance,
Eureka.

eureka19,

eureka19,

You can use date2 parm which gives you the current in yyyymm format. try this

Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT       
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*         
//SORTIN   DD *               
EUREKA                         
//SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=*         
//SYSIN    DD *               
  SORT FIELDS=COPY             
  OUTREC FIELDS=(1,10,    $ first 10 bytes
                 DATE2)  $ current date in yyyymm format
/*


Hope this helps...

Cheers

Kolusu
