Date/time constants in JCL

-
You can use DATE, DATE=(abcd), DATENS=(abc), YDDD=(abc) and YDDDNS=(ab) to generate CH/ZD constants for the current data (that is, today's date) as follows: DATE creates a constant in the form C'mm/dd/yy' which on March 15, 2005 would be C'03/15/04'. DATE=(abcd) creates a constant in the form C'adbdc' where a, b and c can be M for mm, D for dd, Y for yy or 4 for yyyy, and d is the separator character. For example, DATE=(DM4.) creates C'dd. mm.yyyy’ which on March 15, 2005 would be C'15. 03.2005’. DATENS=(abc) creates a constant in the form C'abc' where a, b and c can be M for mm, D for dd, Y for yy or 4 for yyyy. For example, DATE=(DMY) creates C'ddmmyy' which on March 15, 2005 would be C'150304'. YDDD=(abc) creates a constant in the form C'acb' where a and b can be D for ddd, Y for yy or 4 for yyyy, and c is the separator character. For example, YDDD=(...
