The dollar symbol matches the end of the string. (Use \n to match a newline
character.)
Does "\n" work alike for DFSORT?

Your input date has separators and DFSORT date arithmetic functions works on

I have the following field in a dataset, that I want to subtract days from,

DFSORT does not have direct access to IPL info. It can access system symbols

I am trying to build the JCL using only DFSORT capabilities. I was just

as a wide range of date processing. An may be that if not yet, it would
