Re[2]: Date data type question

[eric.delong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

     If you are moving numeric 8.0 into a date field, use:
     
     C     *ISO       Move    NumDateFld     DateDtaFld
     
     *ISO dates in numeric fields conform to YYYYMMDD image.

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?
