Micahel,
Probably due to fact that IFASMFDP does not give you the option of
dynamically changing the date. Tim wanted Current date - 7 days worth of
data. IFASMFDP only allo
Thank you, I think this is a better solution for me right now.

I am not using IFASMFDP I am doing other things in the DFSORT application. I'm
trying not to do all of the I/O to select the records with IFASMFDP, then read
the selected records a second time into DFSORT to process them.

Micahel,
Probably due to fact that IFASMFDP does not give you the option of

data. IFASMFDP only allows you hard coded dates for DATE parameter. So Tim
has to change the control cards every time
Why not just use IFASMFDP?

Tim,
If you are input data is always going to 20th century then you use Y2U
format in the form Y'string' . Something like this
INCLUDE COND=(12,3,Y2U,GE,Y'DATE3'-7)

Thanks for the solution. I am wondering, though: since I am not interested in
dates in the 20th century, could I use COND=(12,3,Y2U,GE,) ? The
rightmost 3 bytes of the SMF date would seem to satisfy Y2U and as long as my
offset of -7 doesn't take me to a previous century I should be OK,

Tim,
The SMFDATE format is NOT your typical Date format. A 4-byte SMF date value
in the form P'cyyddd' (X'0cyydddF') where c=

Do I want to use

or
INCLUDE COND=(11,4,Y4U,GE,)
or have I missed something
