Re: Getting Dates

MAPICS has two programs used to retrieve and format dates.

AXZPDR is used to retrieve the current MAPICS date and time.  It also retrieves 
the tailored date format code.

AXZDT is used to format dates between *USER (ie. MMDDYY) and *FILE (ie. 
CYYMMDD) formats.  It has parms for input date, output date, the date format 
code retrieved from AXZPDR and the type of formatting you would like to do.  
(This program also has other functions such as calculating a date given a date 
and number of days)

If you do not use these programs, be careful with job date for unattached jobs. 
 Unattached jobs will have a job date of the date the job started - it's not 
necessarily the current date.
