  • Subject: Century access in COBOL PGM
  • From: Joe Loepke <JMLoepke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
  • Date: Fri, 20 Jun 1997 12:06:08 -0400

Question - How do you access the date, including the century portion, in a
COBOL pgm?  It has been addressed in RPG with the *DATE (as opposed to the
UDATE), but I cannot find anything pointing to a similar feature in COBOL.
We ACCEPT the date in most COBOL pgms, and now need to have the century
included.

Thanks in advance.
