Try:

ShortDate = %rem(LongDate: 1000000);

Hi All

I'm sure the answer is easy, my brain isn't engaging today.

I have the following:

    D  LongDate       S              8S 0
    D  ShortDate      S              6S 0
     /FREE
          shortdate = %dec(Longdate : 6 : 0);
     /END-FREE

When running this, I get a "receiver too small" error.
So, my alternative (that works) is:
         shortdate = %dec(%subst(%char(Longdate) : 6):6:0);

Is there a better way?  I would have thought the first example would
work and don't understand why not.

Any ideas or thoughts?

Regards,
Terry
PS:  Obviously I understand that this can result in the loss of data,
and that's perfectly ok in my scenario.
