Re: Date Validation File

Chris,

Do you happen to have Advanced Systems Concepts (ASC) Sequel product?  It
has program (SQDATE) that will build a date file (SQDATE) similar to what
you are looking for. Here is the fields in the file for info.

Subject: Date Validation File


Hi y'all,

I'm constructing a date validation routine using a date file rather than
inspecting the date value.

Although it is quite easy to formulate a date file showing YYYYMMDD, Day of
Week, Julian date etc. it is a rather different ball game ascertaining
whether
the date was or will be a Public Holiday.

So my question is ......... are there date files commercially available out
there or or they easily retreivable from certain applications or does one
exist
within OS400?

kr

Chris
