RE: Problems with a date field as a key in RPG/LE

I am setting lower limits using Customer #, Item # and Beginning Date (KLDL9)
and then reading equal with Customer # and Item # (KLDL92). This should
allow me to read all of the Invoice Detail for a Customer and Item with Dates
on or after the Beginning Date. Using KLDL92 to set lower limits would start me
at the first Invoice Detail for the Customer and Item. That is essentially what 
it's
doing know even though I tell it to use the Date as well.
