Are you specifying CVTOPT(*DATE) on the compile? That will allow dates to come into the program correctly.

Hi all. I've had a request to debug this issue and am having a bit of a
time at it. Here's my issue:

Sample PF TestPF:
BOA, char, 20 byes
FYA, char, 5 bytes
NBR, packed, 7.0
DATE, date, 10 (*ISO)

Sample LF TestLF
Key fields:
BOA
DATE

Many records have DATE field values of '0001-01-01' (I assume that's *loval)

The COBOL program is trying to use LF, but is getting a key mapping error on
the logical. How do I get past that key mapping error in the program? I'm
happy to supply any more info as needed.
