Paul, DFSORT has the ability to read system symbols defined here http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/iea2e2c2/2.2.2? > Does ICETOOL cover the midnight pitfall? What exactly is the midnight pitfall? If you used the LOCAL system symbols then you would get the local time. DFSORT also has several date formats and it is based on the time the step ran. If you meant that a job that started at 11:59:59 PM and the SORT step ran at 00:00:10 then we would get the next date as SORT would not have any idea about when the Job started.
