Example 9
OPTION COPY,Y2PAST=1996
OUTFIL FNAMES=SPCL,
OUTREC=(1,14, copy positions 1-14
15,6,Y2T, transform yy to yyyy - allow blanks
21,20) copy positions 21 - 40
This example illustrates how to transform an existing data set with a character date field of the form C'yymmdd' and blank special indicators in bytes 15-20, into a new date set with a character date field of the form C'yyyymmdd' and blank special indicators in bytes 15-22.
The input data set has an LRECL of 40 and the SPCL data set will have an LRECL of 42.
The Y2PAST=1996 option sets the century window to 1996-2095. The century window will be used to transform the two-digit years into four-digit years, but will not be used for the special blank indicators.
The input records might be as follows:
MORGAN HILL CA
SAN JOSE 960512 CA
BOCA RATON 000628 FL
DENVER 951115 CO
The output records would be as follows:
MORGAN HILL CA
SAN JOSE 19960512 CA
BOCA RATON 20000628 FL
DENVER 20951115 CO
