RE: Date data type question

["Goodbar, Loyd (AFS-Water Valley)" <LGoodbar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

1. I'm not in control of our OS version. We have plan to move to V4Rx in
the future, but my boss doesn't like the software subscription stuff.

2. It was a 6 digit date problem. The date was 8 numeric (YYMD), I ended
up moving it to *USA (MDYY) then moving it to *ISO date. Because of the
way I moved it, it fell into the date window stuff.

3. N/A (yay)

Another question: Why isn't there a *YYMD move operation for dates to
handle numeric YYMD dates? Will that be added to RPG/IV in a future
release?
