|    * Move the job date to LOGONDATE.  By default, LOGONDATE has an *ISO       
|          | 
|    * date format, which contains a 4-digit year.  *DATE also contains a       
|          | 
|    * 4-digit year, but in a different format, *USA.

|          | 
|    * Extract the month from a date field to a 2-digit field                   
|          | 
|    * that is used as an index into a character array containing               
|          | 
|    * the names of the months.  Then extract the day from the                  
|          | 
|    * timestamp to a 2-byte character field which can be used in               
|          | 
|    * an EVAL concatenation expression to form a string.                       
|          | 
|    * For example, if LOGONDATE is March 17, 1996, LOGMONTH will               
|          | 
|    * contain 03, LOGDAY will contain 17, and DATE_STR will contain            
|          | 
|    * 'March 17'.
