How about writing your own function?  

Something like

GoodDate = TestDate(somedate, '*YMD')

        Subject:        Indicators Bad - Alternate to TEST(D) available?

        I'm one of the programmers who doesn't like using indicators in
        new RPG IV code.  Yet, I find myself having to use them in a few
        cases, notably the opcode TEST.

        C        *YMD         TEST(D)        SomeDate                99
        C                     If             NOT *IN99
        ...

        Is there yet a workaround this where we don't have to use indicators
        yet?

        Also, what is the URL to the IBM ination?  www.ination.com is not
it,
        that's some www.cyberdistrict.com (whatever that is).

        Thanks.

        Regards,
