We had checked the options file and it was the correct one. I set the option there for debug level output to prove it.

Further testing appears to bear out these changes:

In V4R5 the order in which Select/Omit is evaluated has changed from V4R3. The DB records causing the errors DID in fact have bad date data (though stored as numerics and converted to dates in result fields). However NONE of the records with bad dates should have been selected due to other select criteria. What we think has happend is that the 'weight' given to each select/omit line has changed. If select/omit was processed from top to bottom (as V4R3 SEEMED to do) then all was well. Now they appear to be processed by some internal weight. So when we added an additional s/o criteria which was simpler than the date (in our case omit records with month=0) now they run just fine consistantly.

I can understand the changes though I cannot find them documented, but what really floors me is that they fail intermittantly. A query that runs interactively, runs with sbmjob cmd(runqry xxx) FAILS when inside of a CL program both in batch and on line! What is the difference there? Whyizzat?

Maybe it picks a different options file?
