First of all, I'd never, ever define dates as *MDY in DDS. You only have a
100 year window. I would use *ISO or *USA.

I don't know how DFU handles date fields, though, since we don't use it and
have had the authority to it revoked in favor of EZVIEW (which produces an
audit file). But, *MDY ought to give you a range of 1940 through 2039. Have
you tried that with / without separators?

(The year 2899 is the upper range for *CYMD dates when converting with
%date, or testing with TEST(D), or moving them).

Subject: *MDY date issue

We have several fields that are defined in both the PF and the DDS as *MDY
with a type L designation.  When atempeting to update the record in DFU we
are getting a date time stamp error message.

I believe that for a two digit year the limitation is 1940 through 28xx
correct? 

So how in the world do I represent 2006? it will not take 06 for whatever
reason.

Suggestions, hints, or tell me I am too much trouble and need to leave.....

Douglas
