V4R2 Question

[bvining@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Yes, V4R2 provides for Date data type support in *DSPF and *PRTF.

In addition to such things as validation within the *DSPF, there is
also a handy new DDS function Map Values (MAPVAL) such that one can,
for instance, map program values like '01/01/40' to *BLANK on output
and then return to the program the '01/01/40' value when blanks are
input/returned by the user.  Up to 100 mappings are supported per
field, so the mapping could be rather fancy.  Beside *BLANK, *CUR is
another special value.
