In addition to what Chubler_XL has already said, if the dates to be used are based on the values in field #14 instead of being the dates on the 1st and last records in the file, you have to know the format of the date fields to determine how to perform the comparisons. And, if the values are to be extracted from the 1st and last data records in the file, we have to know if there are any header and/or trailer lines in the file.
This is why it is crucial that you give us a representative sample of the file(s) you will be processing.
Furthermore, you aren't at all clear about what tools are available for this project. You say the files you want to process are on a server. Will your script be run on that server while you are logged into that server? Will the files be located on one server while the script will be running on a different server?
The more details you hide from us, the less help we will be able to provide.

roundup-ctl
ROUNDUP-CTL(1) General Commands Manual ROUNDUP-CTL(1)
NAME
roundup-ctl - roundup server control interface
SYNOPSIS
roundup-ctl [options] command
DESCRIPTION
roundup-ctl is a front end to the roundup server. It is designed to help the administrator control the functioning of the roundup server
daemon. This script mimics most of the behaviour of a regular init script, but works as a front end to the runit package to control the
roundup service. So, in order to use this, you need the runit package, too. Please note that using this script is mostly incompatible with
having roundup controlled by runit directly in the form of automatic startup.
The roundup-ctl script returns a 0 exit value on success, and >0 if an error occurs. For more details, view the comments in the script.
OPTIONS
-d directory
Use given directory as service directory.
COMMANDS
The command can be any one or more of the following options:
start If the roundup server is not runinng, start it. If the server stops, restart it. stop Stops the roundup server. status Print sta-
tus of the roundup server.
