Hi RPG'ers,

I'm writing a simple utility to fix some data in a file, and brushing up on
my /Free format coding as well.

I can't seem to figure out how to get a Date Type field (*System Date) into
our standard way of storing dates, which is Numeric 8,0 YYYYMMDD.

Is there an easy way to do this without jumping through Data Structure
hoops, or breaking out of /Free to use Move?

Help!  and Thanks,

//Jerry/
