The program you are after is SYS903B. You will have to call this program twice: once to convert a Date into Days, then add the number of days you want to increment it by, then call SYS903B to convert the Days into a new Date. The 'Days' referred to here is the number of days since an arbitrary date (I believe it's 1/1/1901). To see what the parameters are, have a look at (just about) any AS/SET program. In there is a subroutine called A0DATE which calls SYS903B. The first time you call it you will need a From date format of '*CYMD' and a To date format of '*DAYS'. The second time around you will reverse these formats. If you are on a V405 release, the equivalent program might be SYS903 (unless they still use those RPG- '$POPE' and '$ROME' routines). SYS903B works by calling the system-API QWCCVTDT, so it's not terribly efficient (2 call operations per date-conversion). Hence you may want to write your own program-internal routine to do conversions if performance is an issue. - Bernard -----Original Message----- From: Hancock, Teri <THANCOCK@accuridecorp.com> To: 'BPCS-L@midrange.com' <BPCS-L@midrange.com> Date: Saturday, June 12, 1999 9:04 AM Subject: Looking for program that will adjust a given date > >I know that there has to be a BPCS program out there that will allow you to >pass in a date, number of days to adjust, and return back the revised or >adjusted date.
