In a CMS environment, I have a list of files, created by LISTFILE. The format
of the file_type, in this list, will be DATE('S') yyyymmdd
I want to take a predetermined date, already in DATE('S') format, and compare
it to the above mentioned file_type. If the file type date is less than or
equal to the predetermined date I want to ignore it. Or if the file type date
is greater than the predetermined date, I want to pass it on to the next stage.
I was hoping for a PIPE stage that would do this type of logical compare but
I didn't find one, or at least one with an obvious name/function. If there is
a stage, please let me know. However, if there isn't a stage to do this, I
think I'll have to do this with a SPEC stage. While I've gotten better at
writing pipe code, the SPEC stage is still a challenge for me and hence the
need for a SPECS guru.
Could someone help with this SPECs stage?
Thanks,
Steve
