I have a requirement to write the system date and time in PS dataset by running a job. To do that I ran a REPRO with
//INDD DD *
%&DATE%
and
//OUTDD DD DSN
as the PS file.
This did not work out as I got this text "%&DATE%" written in my dataset. |

Hmm, you think?
DD * indicates that the JCL is ending and data follows. %&DATE% is nothing more than data. I don't know what you were expecting it to do. IDCAMS obviously doesn't know that it represents anything. Your example would only work if you were using a program that actually knew what value to translate the data %&DATE% into.
Why not use either SORT or the EZACFSM1 program? And, what exactly is the value of %&DATE% supposed to represent? |

hello kaushikmitra,
You can use the below JCL:
| Code: |
//S1 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD *
DUMMY
//SORTOUT DD DSN=....your input dataset
//SYSIN DD *
OPTION COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(1:DATE,2X,TIME)
/* |
You can have different format of date. Since you didnt provided the date format so i assumed it to be mm/dd/yy.
Regards,
Rajat |
