Hi,
I worked on a simple code, to FTP a file to a destination server.

I used EZACFSM1 utility to obtain a current run date appended to the destination file.

For instance,
put FILENAME.SERVER.END FILENAME.DESTINATION.END.&LYYYMM

However, the requirement for this is changed as follows: We have to append the previous month's value and not current month's values.

Is it possible to do this with the same utility and without using Rexx?

Or do I necessarily have to use an alternate approach?

You'll need a program to perform the date calculation. A sort (DFSORT or Syncsort) might be a good option to use.
