Re: Can CL do Date manips?

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sure, using some simple API calls (the CEE date routines). There was a 
recent thread on this subject here. I posted one idea, others had more. 
Check the archives for "Date math in CL". Also, Scott Klement had an 
excellent, extensive article around the same time in the Club Tech iSeries 
Programming Tips newsletter he edits. Must be a "timely" (or "dately") 
subject. You could go to www.iseriesnetwork.com and look for it there under 
Programming Tips.
