I have a file of record length 592 . I have a date field in yyyy-mm-dd format . Now, i should get records only of current date.
I have written jcl code

SORT FIELDS=COPY
INCLUDE COND=(583,7,ZD,EQ,DATE1P)

This is working only for format yyyymmdd but my requirement is to get records of current date which has format yyyy-mm-dd
can anyone please help me ?

What happens when your step runs after midnight? Or you want to do a re-run? Or for testing of any type?

Good systems have a "calendar file(e)" which have all the dates you need. Does your system have one?

Please note that this is NOT "jcl code" (sic). You have written SORT control records which are used by an invocation of SORT within your JCL. JCL starts with // or /* (as stated in the JCL Reference manual talking about what JCL is -- see table 1).
