Re: Using CL, how do I get the month from a data date field?

This is not how I understand it, but obviously I am no expert on this topic.
Part of the problem that I face is that I do not know ahead of time what the *SYS or *JOB values will be.

But when you define it as a field in the file, don't you have to specify a
date format, with *ISO being the default?  And this is what tells DB2 (or
DB400 or whatever the proper 'database' name is for i5) how to format it for
presentation in HLL or diaplays or whatnot?


Booth:
When you access the value in CL, it should already be formatted appropriately. Simplest way to see what the value looks like is to run DMPCLPGM just before CVTDAT.
If you run the program with a couple different date/format job settings, you should see exactly how it works through comparing the dumped values.
