In COBOL, what is a good method of comparing a data field date to the current date?
It seems that ALL data fields must be declared to appear with a separator character.
And it sees that the CURRENT-DATE function cannot return a date separator.
Is it mandatory to break apart the current date, and string it back together with a separator?
Surely there must be an easier way to write something like:
If Cust-add-date = ws-curr-date
Where Cust-add-date is type "L" format *MDY
Without breaking apart and rebuilding the current date?
Thanks
