1.I can get the date(&var) by using SQL given below (SELECT substr(admadmrec, 9,8)from admfile)
 
2.I get the date (&date) from an application by using RTVxxxxx command output to variable &date.
 
3. I need to compare them both in CL and do some further steps.

Subject: Re: output date field from a flat file into a variable


If I am understanding your question correctly, why do you need to do
anything. Both field are in a CCYYMMDD format and are character fields so
just compare them unless you are saying that the field &DATE is a true date
type type from database table? CL doesn't support true date data types.

Hi

I am looking to do date comparison in CL program.

    I get the date from a flat file with the below SQL
SELECT
      substr(admadmrec, 9,8)
from admfile

the value is in format yyyymmdd.

  How do you  output this date into a variable (&VAR) to compare with
another variable(&DATE) that picks APPLICATION DATE in the same format
20130608(yyyymmdd).


Below is the structure of my CL
PGM
DCL &VAR
DCL &DATE

-----
-----


IF &VAR = &DATE
DO --------
IF &VAR < &DATE
DO ---------
IF &VAR > &DATE
DO --------

ENDPGM

Thanks!
