I have a situation like whenever i run a job, i should generate a dataset which will contain the first of the previous month in the format 'ccyymmdd'.

e.g. If i run the job today(20081022) it should generate the dataset with the value(20080901)

Please help me out. Thanks in advance.

The following JCL will create 1 record with previous months first day. The output lrecl is FB and 80 bytes. Change the 80:x to your desired length

Code:

//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=ICEMAN       
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*           
//SORTIN   DD *                   
DUMMY RECORD                     
//SORTOUT  DD SYSOUT=*           
//SYSIN    DD *                   
  SORT FIELDS=COPY               
  INREC BUILD=(DATE2-1,C'01',80:X)
