Re: Testing a Date

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

If you do not want to test for separators then tell it not to in factor one.  
For example:
¦   D Char_Date       S              6    INZ('041596')                         
                   ¦
¦    *  Indicator 19 will not be set on, since the character field is a         
                   ¦
¦    *  valid *MDY date, without separators.                                    
                   ¦
¦   C     *MDY0         TEST (D)                Char_Date              19       
                   ¦

The 0 after *MDY means that no separators will be used.

I agree. I knew that separators are missing when I got the compile error. But
the manual says " if the result field is character, both digit and separators
are tested". What does this mean? If we have character result field testing,
does this mean that we have to test for separators also? I didnot understand
this statement properly.  Please clear my doubt!!

TIA
