OK, so I like the L-date field idea.  I tried it out in a few places.  Its
nice.  I decided to put it in all new files as part of the time-date
stamp.   

Now, one of these new files will have records updated in an existing RPG
program.  I tried    C      MOVE UDATE     DATEL

It compiles with a warning message about the LDATE field being ignored.

Have I missed something simple and basic?  How can I access this field,
update it, etc.?
