> MAPICS has two programs used to retrieve and format dates.

> AXZPDR is used to retrieve the current MAPICS date and time. It also 
> retrieves the tailored date format code. 
> 
> AXZDT is used to format dates between *USER (ie. MMDDYY) and *FILE (ie. 
> CYYMMDD) formats. It has parms for input date, output date, the date 
> format code retrieved from AXZPDR and the type of formatting you would 
> like to do. (This program also has other functions such as calculating 
> a date given a date and number of days) 
> 
> If you do not use these programs, be careful with job date for 
> unattached jobs. Unattached jobs will have a job date of the date the 
> job started - it's not necessarily the current date.
