The 'U' date fields (eg. UDATE, UDAY, etc) use the job date. If the job
started on 26th day then UDAY will have 26 in it. If a job runs past
midnight the values in the 'U' date fields do not change even though the
system date has changed. Is it possible that your job started on 26th
August?

If you need the current date in a long running program, it is better to
use
the TIME opcode, or its free format equivalent.
