Date comparisons z/OS DFSORT Application Programming Guide SC23-6878-00 |
|
You can use DFSORT's Y2 formats in conjunction with the century
window in effect, as follows:
For example, you can include only those records for which a Z'yymm' date field is between January 1996 and March 2005. Or you can include only those records for which a P'dddyy' field is less than another P'dddyy' field. Or you can include only those records for which a C'yyddd' field is between today's date and 5 days earlier than today's date. The ordering of dates and special indicators used for comparisons with Y2 fields and Y constants is the same as the ascending orders for sorting and merging Y2 fields (see SORT control statement for details). |
