Far be it for me to tell Mr. Cozzi how to write code, but I've given up on
using Date and Time fields on my DDS DSPF and PRTF. I use character fields
and just format the data in. Actually, I got the same error yesterday on a
program that still contained a date field. I agree, the iSeries should be
smart enough to map any date format to any date format on the fly. You
shouldn't have to worry about stuff like that.

Thanks,

Mark

Okay maybe I'm a bit cranky.

Scenario:

DSPF DDS contains  a date field with DATFMT(*MDY)

Compiled RPG IV that uses that display file is called.
Write to the display file with that date field, BOOM!
Why?
Because the RPG IV converts the date from the display file into *ISO within
the program.
RPG IV also initializes date fields in *ISO format to D'0001-01-01'
This date however is NOT valid for *MDY so I end up wth:
RNQ0114 -  Message . . . . :   The year portion of a Date or Timestamp
value
is not in the correct range (C G D F).
