Hammer & Screwdriver Here is another approach
Code:
> cat file85
'Y',getdate(),'N','V',NULL .....
'N',getdate(),'Y','D',NULL .....
'Y','N','Y',getdate(),'Y','D',NULL ....
> cat file85 | sed "s/getdate()/~&1/" | tr "~" "\n" | grep "getdate()" | cut -d"," -f3
'V'
'D'
'D'

[Note: this was done purposefully LONG to help show how the commands all worked together.]
Explained
cat the file
sed to put a ~ before any instance of getdate()
tr the ~ to a new-line; forcing onto own line
grep for the getdate() to select only those lines
cut -d"," -f3 to set delimiter to , and output the third field
