SYSIN file for EDGUPDT

Use this file to select the target point in time for update processing from the journal input records. Update processing starts at the first record in the JOURNAL. Update processing continues until the point in time you select, or to the end of the input records, whichever occurs first.

UPDATE

Use this command in the SYSIN file to select your chosen end point for journal update processing. When you do not specify UPDATE, DFSMSrmm uses all the available complete sets of records to perform update processing to the latest available point in time.

TARGETDATE

Use the TARGETDATE(Date, Time) operand to specify the date and time you have selected to be your end point in time for update processing. You must specify both a date and a time. The date and time are the local date and time as recorded in the journal records used for update processing. Any input records created at a time higher than the value you specify are skipped.

Date: Specify the date in the format set by the DATEFORM operand or (if the DATEFORM operand is not specified) by the DATEFORM parmlib value. For example, if your installation set DATEFORM(J), specify: TARGETDATE(2008/123,23:22:10.0)
Time: Specify the target local time in the format hh:mm:ss.t
The '.t' (tenths of a second) is optional.

DATEFORM

Use the optional DATEFORM (A | D| E | I | J ) operand to specify the format for the date you enter in the TARGETDATE operand.

Value	Language	Format	Example
A	American	mm/dd/yyyy	12/15/2008
E	European	dd/mm/yyyy	15/12/2008
I	ISO	yyyy/mm/dd	2008/12/15
J	Julian	yyyy/ddd	2008/349
D	Default	Installation's default in EDGRMMxx	Initially set to Julian

The default date format for all date fields is the value specified in the parmlib member EDGRMMxx. The value is initially set to J for Julian. To change the date format for each run of EDGUPDT, use the DATEFORM parameter.
