RE: CVTDAT TOSEP(*NONE) not working?

If you would just read the help, you could figure this out

See my prev post below that no one seems to have read because I'm a nobody

Converting any of these formats will leave the separators in: 
*ISO, *USA, *EUR, *JIS 

When you are entering the cvtdat cmd and prompt it and then prompt for the
help text, when you scroll down to the section that says

Field Size and Minimum Variable Length

When you look at the *Iso line it basically shows that the ToSep is
Disregarded (does not show the ToSep as an option).
Which is reflected in the min field size of 10

The other formats such as *mdy show either ToSep options of Any or None

Jonathon.  I agree.  that's most likely the case.

Thanks,

Hi Rick

Just a thought, but as *ISO is defining the ISO standard of "yyyy-mm-dd"
which includes hyphen separators, I would think that the TOSEP(*NONE) is
logically incompatible.  If you want "yyyymmdd" then you should use
TOFMT(*YYMMDD) instead.

All the best

Jonathan

hey all,

i'm at V5R3.   I have the following CL code:

DCL        VAR(&DATE    ) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(6)
DCL        VAR(&ISO     ) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)

RTVJOBA    DATE(&DATE)
CVTDAT     DATE(&DATE) TOVAR(&ISO) TOFMT(*ISO) +
             TOSEP(*NONE)

when done, &ISO has the following value:

'2006-07-06'

Tosep *NONE doesn't seem to be working?   any ideas?

Thanks,

Rick
