LINKDATE


The LINKDATE parameter selects a group of members from a PDS based on the member's link date. The from or to-date range is specified in the ccyy/mm/dd format. Valid only with the LMODCLAS, LMODMAPA, LMODDIR, and LMODMAPN functions.

The syntax of the LINKDATE parameter is:

LINKDATE=(from-date,to-date)
         (,to-date)
         (from-date)
         from-date

from-date,to-date

Specifies the endpoint from and to-dates, in the format ccyy/mm/dd to select modules for mapping. The dates can be complete or partial. Leading zeros are required when specifying the year, month, and day.

  • If the FROM date is omitted and a TO date is specified, File-AID selects all members linked on or before the specified TO date.
  • If a FROM date is specified and the TO date is omitted, File-AID selects all members linked on or after the specified FROM date.

Entering the same dates in the FROM and TO fields selects members linked only on that date.

Example:

$$$DD01 LMODMAPN LINKDATE=(2000/01/01,2000/06/30)

This example lists all modules in the data set with a link date on or between January 1, 2000 and June 30, 2000 in name order.
