Six character date fields will use the IBM standard windowing to figure out which century your date is, which is 1940 - 2039. Your calcs are actually subtracting 2039 from 1980 which gives you -59 in number of years. You need to use a different date type format to get the proper result. We let all our dates in files and calcs default to *ISO and convert to other formats for display or printing purposes. +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
