19000102
19000103
19000104 .... and so on.

When I tell somebody to RTFM or STFW I usually have the page open in another tab/window of my browser,
so that I am sure that the information requested can be reached with a very small effort

Hi enrico, topic you provided is having Julian date conversion. I need to create a new file with Greg Date incremented by 1 day in every next row.

the snippet in the topic linked makes easy to construct a dataset with a JULIAN date

this link will tell how to add a couple of statements to convert a julian date to the equivalent gregorian

This is NOT a JCL topic but you wanted a DFSort solution so WHY did you post in the JCL section?
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.
