set the day part of the date, &PDC, to a high value like 31???

CHGVAR VAR(&PMC) VALUE(&PMD)

CHGVAR VAR(&PDC) VALUE(’31′) <– new line of code

CHGVAR VAR(&FILEPU) VALUE(&PCC *TCAT &PYC *TCAT
&PMC *TCAT &PDC)

So I think you want to set the day part of the date &PDC to a high value like 31???

You’re using *LE (Less than or Equal to) so anything older should also be removed.

For example if the date is 1 March anything before 1 January should be removed, You should end up with 2 months data to the day so the number of days’ data will vary depending on the 2 months that re being kept.

Regards,

Martin Gilbert.
