Looks right to me. But consider this... the %Date() function is expecting
you to tell it what format DATECRT is in, not the format that you wanting
to go to. ASDF_ISO is a date field and it will put in the format that you
specified when defining the field (default being *ISO I believe).

So if DATECRT = 04282008 then you would want *USA, but if 20080428 then
you have it right for *ISO.

I'm probably wrong for this, but I usually use On-Error *ALL.

Fellow RPGers,


I have the opportunity to use the MONITOR opcode. I am converting
an input file from 8 digits to *ISO. The analyst got an error when
testing so I don't have the exact error code in the documentation
supplied. I coded it thus:

// Convert The Creation Date To ISO For Comparison To The Work Creation
Date
Monitor; // Monitor For Date
Error
ASDF_ISO = %Date(DATECRT :*ISO); // Convert Create Date
To ISO
On-Error *Program;

ASDF_ISO = %Date(); // Default To Today's
Date
EndMon;

I will default to today's date if the Monitor detects an error. Is
the On-Error *Program correct usage in this example?

Thanks,
