RE: TEST(DE) with Numeric feild

It is right the way it is.
The *MDY and *YMD only check the first 6-digits of the value, ignoring
the fact that it is a longer numeric field.
So the value being checked by the first two are:  01/10/39  (January 10,
2039) which is a valid date.

--
Could someone possibly explain to me why I am getting the results I am
from the following code:


D NUM1            S             20  0 INZ(20011039)
D CHAR1           S             20    INZ('20011039')


TEST(ED) *MDY NUM1;    // %ERROR = *OFF - ?? Shouldn't this be *on
because there is no month 20
TEST(ED) *YMD NUM1;   // %ERROR = *ON - ?? this should be *off, year of
20, month 1 day 10
TEST(ED) *ISO NUM1;    // %ERROR = *ON - OK

TEST(ED) *MDY0 CHAR1;  // %ERROR = *ON - OK
TEST(ED) *YMD0 CHAR1;  // %ERROR = *OFF - OK
TEST(ED) *ISO0 CHAR1;  // %ERROR = *ON - *OK


Thanks,

Chris
