**/**/*_yyyymmdd.

Can anyone help me on how to generate the date on dialy basis in teh connect direct step so as to we put up the current date at the end of UNIX file on daily basis.

1. Most job schedulers allow you to do this type of thing, so use the job scheduler.
2. OR you could write a small program, in the language of your choice, to generate the file name and run it as part of your job.
3. OR you could download to a fixed file name on the Unix system and use CRON on the Unix system to schedule a small script to execute every day to move (or copy) the fixed file name to the file name with the date.

You could use the built-in intrinsic symbolic variable %SUBDATE1:

%SUBDATE1 Use this parameter to substitute the submitted date in the yyyymmdd date format.

Hi..Thanks..

I have used the scheduler to the same on another system...I used Fileaid also which was replacing character with the current date at particualr column..and date was picked by scheduler..

Any idea on if we can do te same thing with Sort Card.

Please start a new topic in the appropriate sort forum for your installed product. it will save time if you provide all of the usual relevant details, such as sample input and output data, LRECL and RECFM details, product and level installed, etc.

Can anyone help me out how to append previous month and current year as suffix in the file name using NDM card.

CURDT = YYMMDD
DATADT = YYYYMO -- where MO is the previous month
