I have the following defined in a PRGILE program.

However what I want to do is assign a value to TestDate at runtime.

ie Something like

Eval TestDate = '2008-07-04'

You need a D in front of the literal - to tell the compiler to treat it as a date and not character.

i.e. TestDate = D'2008-07-04';
