I am struggling with a date conversion in SORT. I have to get a date from a file where first two chars is C'01' and the next five the Julian Date. And output a record of length 80 with
NARRATIVE11ddmmyyyy

I am using:

Select all

 SORT FIELDS=COPY
   INCLUDE FORMAT=CH,COND=(2,2,CH,EQ,C'01')
   OUTFIL BUILD=(C'NARRATIVE11',10,5,Y2T,DT=(DM4),81X)
   SUM FIELDS=NONE

But always get ABENDU0007 with SYNTAX ERROR At:

Select all

OUTFIL BUILD=(C'NARRATIVE11',10,5,Y2T,DT=(DM4),81X)
                                              £

Any hints ? Thank you, GG

Select all

OUTFIL BUILD=(10,5,Y2T,DTNS=(DM4))

Any hints ? Thank you, GG

If the LRECL is 80, does not 81X fill up to cc81 ???
