How to get current timestamp using Sort Utility.

rajandhla

Hi ALL,

I have got a requirement to reformat the record which has time stamp.
so i am using sort utility with out rec option. but i want current time stamp(i.e the time the job has run). currently iam hard coding time stamp.

SYSIN looks as
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=(1,9,CH,A)
OUTREC FIELDS=(1,9,10:C'2005-09-01-10.32.00.000000')
instead of hard code timestamp i want current timestamp.

Please if any one has idea let me know.

Thanks in advance.
Jai
