Jack,

You need to use DATE3P which is a packed decimal format in +yyyyddd format.

So you can use

  INCLUDE COND=(009,2,CH,EQ,C'D ',AND,
                117,4,PD,LE,DATE3P-90)

This will filter out the records that have last reference date <= current date 
- 90 days

Further if you have any questions please let me know


Thanks,
