He needs the result of DATE1P shifted half-a-byte left:
X'0yymmddC' ==> X'yymmdd--'
and next use only 6 dec digits = 3 full bytes of it:
X'yymmdd'
That's why something like MUL,+10 is needed. No simple way to move data half-a-byte in SORT operations...

From the last post made by the OP, looks like he is trying to get rid of the cc - part. So there is NO need of MULtiplication if I understand correctly. Appending DATE1P can be included in the OUTFIL itself instead of adding an INREC. |
