RE: Date * 10000.01

This is an ignorant question because it has been a long time since I
have used any RPG. 

I understand the overflow processing delay but I am curious about
defining the result field large enough to prevent that from happening,
and using the MOVEL or MOVER or whatever to get the result where you
need it? Does doing  that result in an incorrect result? If not, would
you still take a performance hit? or is this a useable solution?

Or do these commands even still exist? :-)

Someone posted a multiplier that can be used to change an 8,0 date
from mdy
to ymd and vice versa using the same multipier.  I can not find that,
and
was hoping someone could re-post it.  This is just a huge help for
programs
that are not yet converted to RPG1V.

Thanks in advance,
Angie Wawrzaszek
