Re: CL: Numeric padding

Hello Rob,

As much as I'd like to promote BRMS

This is way over the top for my hobbyist use.

having meaningful tape names is long dead

Not for me. :-)

I suspect that's not an option for your shop.

I'm a hobbyist.

So try this:
DCL VAR(&JOBDATE) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(6)
DCL VAR(&YYMMDD) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(6)
RTVJOBA DATE(&JOBDATE)
CHGVAR VAR(&YYMMDD) VALUE(%sst(&jobdate 5 2) *cat +
%sst(&jobdate 1 4))
SNDMSG MSG(&YYMMDD) TOUSR(ROB)

Thanks!

Another proposed way (privately, just arrived) is to CHGJOB JOB(*) DATFMT(*YMD) and run the retrieved job date through CVTDAT.

:wq! PoC
