Hi David
Using todays date August 3 2010
I am assuming that the definition DD/MM/AAAA would read
03/08/2010 where DD is the day, MM is the month and AAAA is the century and
year
What is JJ?

Hi all,

I have a 10A field with the date filled like DD/MM/AAAA.
If I do SELECT char(datefield) FROM mytable it shows the date as
MM/JJ/AAAA.


I need to read the file in an RPG and pass the 10A field as a date to an
external procedure.

MONITOR;
mydate = %DATE ( datefield : *EUR );
ON-ERROR;


I'm getting an error on each conversion. If I change the / to a . in the
file, the conversion is ok.

What should I do?

Thanks.
