Couple of clarifications
1. It is DFSORT and not DFHSORT(There is no H)
2. Your error messages start with WER which indicates you are using
Syncsort and not DFSORT
3. You don't need to use INCLUDE=ALL as it is the default to include all
records for DFSORT
4. The same is the case for specifying Files=OUT as SORTOUT is the
default.
Either way if you need last month date, you need to use date2 parm but you
need to use on inrec/outrec .
I assumed that your input has an lrecl of 80 bytes and we put the previous
month date at position 81 and remove it using BUILD on outfil
This is a working syntax for DFSORT, but i cannot comment on the other
product
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=(1,2,CH,A)
OUTREC OVERLAY=(81:DATE2-1)
OUTFIL BUILD=(1,80),
HEADER1=('DATE',15:81,6)
//*
