RE: CVTDAT on V5R2

The help text says:   


Only valid dates can be converted.  If either the from-format or the
to-format use only 2 digits to specify the year (for example, *MDY, 
*DMY, *YMD, or *JUL), valid dates are in the range of January 1,    
1940, to December 31, 2039.  Otherwise, valid dates are in the range
of August 24, 1928, to May 9, 2071.  If the year is specified with  
only 2 digits, years in the range of 40 to 99 are assumed to be 1940
to 1999; years in the range 00 to 39 are assumed to be 2000 to 2039.

Subject: CVTDAT on V5R2

I have a client with an RPG program using the CVTDAT cmd and dates prior to
1927 are returning blanks for the year. Here's the cmd. Anyone one seen this
before?

CVTDAT DATE(IDATE) TOVAR(ODATE) FROMFMT(*YYMD) TOFMT(*MDYY) TOSEP(/)

thanks
