An example is in order - I have used the CEE* functions for dates, so googled "iseries ceedate" - actually, started typing "cee", and that came up.

One of the first hints was https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ile-cl-usage-cee-apis-ceedays-ceedate-ceedywk - what is especially intriguing to me was "ceedywk" - I wonder if Bruce Vining, Mr. Calendar, wrote the article, date is in 2019, so maybe not. But there is also a 2008 hit that he did write - https://www.mcpressonline.com/programming-other/cl/the-cl-corner-more-on-ile-cee-date-and-time-apis

TMI, I'm sure!!

Cheers
Vern
