Hi Kolusu That solved this problem.

So you can use INCLUDE COND=(009,2,CH,EQ,C'D ',AND, 117,4,PD,LE,DATE3P-90) This will filter out the records that have last reference date <= current date - 90 days Further if you have any questions please let me know Thanks, Kolusu DFSORT Development IBM Corporation -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
Re: Using DFSORT to display binary and Packed Decimal values
Hi, By now, after more trial and errors and reading several bits of the DFSORT manual, I have been able to get the report that I wanted. But now I need something else. I want to produce a report with only the data sets that have not been referenced for over a year. The DCOLLECT record "D" "DATE LAST REFERENCED (ddd F)" is on position 113 (117 for a SORT field), with a length of four bytes. I think that this makes it format PD for SORT, and not CH as the manual states. If I use 117,4,CH,LE,X'2021202F', it works as expected. But I do not want to have a hard coded date. I have used on a different report "118,10,BI,LE,DATE1(-)-90)" for dates with the "-mm-dd" format. My interpretation of the DFSORT manual for a date on the "ddd" format, is that I should use the DATE3 symbol, but it is not working. I will keep reading the manual and I will keep trying on but, in the meantime, does anyone has a suggestion?

Jack, The link that nigel pointed out is an old one and does not have the updated the macros (encryption and other enhancements). Moreover the FTP link also does not work. I will fix the website not to refer to the FTP site. I will respond to you offline about the updated macros and JCL.

Re: Using DFSORT to display binary and Packed Decimal values
I thought I had a job that did exactly this but I can't find it. However, there are plenty of examples indexed at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/dfsort-icetool-papers-and-examples including for DCOLLECT.

Using DFSORT to display binary and Packed Decimal values
Hi, I am using DFSORT to process DCOLLECT Data Records. I am trying to format a output record with the dataset name, volser, allocated space, creation date and last ref date. On the DCOLLECT Data Record, the allocated space is on a binary format and the date fields are all on packed decimal. I would like those to be reformatted to a character format as I want it to be readable. So far I have been reading the manual and have been on a trial and error process, with a lot of tries and a lot of errors. As this must be a simple thing to do, I must be doing it all wrong. Ant help will be greatly appreciated, Best regards, Jack -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
