Hi, Michael:
Try using the CVTDAT command.
You could do something like this:
DCL VAR(&DATE) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10) /* date in YYYY-MM-DD format */
DCL VAR(&RSLT) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10) /* result: validated date
YYYY-MM-DD */
DCL VAR(&VLDD) TYPE(*LGL) /* valid date flag; 1=true,
0=false */
...
CHGVAR VAR(&VLDD) VALUE('1') /* assume date is valid */
CVTDAT DATE(&DATE) TOVAR(&RSLT) FROMFMT(*YYMD) TOFMT(*ISO)
MONMSG MSGID(CPF0550 CPF0551 CPF0552 CPF0553 CPF0554 +
CPF0555 CPF0556 CPF0557) EXEC(DO)
CHGVAR VAR(&VLDD) VALUE('0') /* indicate date is not
valid */
ENDDO
...
IF (&VLDD) THEN(DO) /* valid date */
...
ENDDO
ELSE (DO) /* date not valid */
...
ENDDO
Does that help?
Cheers,

List,
I need to pass in 2 dates to a CLLE program in the ISO format YYYY-MM-DD. Is
there a straightforward way to validate a date value from a CLLE program
instead of assuming they are valid? Suggestions?
