RE: Date Data Type Question.

It uses the standard date window, I'm sure.  

To convert your date, first use TEST(d) on your date (numeric type)
field with type *MDY or *YMD (depending how you have your date stored).
If it tests ok, move it into a *MDY or *YMD format date type field, then
into the *USA type.  The century will be converted for you.

The clock is ticking...

        Hello

        I have a need to convert a 6-digit numeric date data to a date
data type
        field of *USA  inside an RPG program.  Can anyone tell me how
the AS/400
        determines the century for this type of conversion?

        Thanks
