Hi Folks,

I converted the system date to jul with this cmd;

CVTDAT DATE(&SYSDAT) TOVAR(&CURJUL) FROMFMT(*MDY) TOFMT(*LONGJUL) TOSEP(*NONE) and the joblog shows this;
CVTDAT DATE('010212') TOVAR(&CURJUL) FROMFMT(*MDY) TOFMT(*LONGJUL) TOSEP(*NONE)

Then, I minus 3 days from the above date (-3) and then try to CVTDAT back to *YYMD but when I try to convert back to *YYMD the joblog shows;

CVTDAT DATE('2011999') TOVAR(&PRVDAT#) FROMFMT(*LONGJUL) TOFMT(*YYMD) TOSEP(*NONE) and I get CPF0555.

Why does the -3 convert to 2011999 and how can I correct the date conversions?

Thanks, Frank
