Re: CVTDAT Question

Frank,

Which release is your system on?

This works OK on mine (V5R3)
***********
PGM
DCL VAR(&F1) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(6)
DCL VAR(&FJ) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(7)
CHGVAR VAR(&F1) VALUE('123110')
CVTDAT DATE(&F1) TOVAR(&FJ) FROMFMT(*MDY) +
TOFMT(*LONGJUL) TOSEP(*NONE)
DMPCLPGM
ENDPGM
***********

It gives a correct value of '2010365'

Hi Folks, Merry Christmas/Happy Hannukah...etc. and Happy New Year to all.

My company runs a CL pgm that has been running for many years that reads a
date file and converts it to julian but when converting 123110 the pgm is
returning CPF0555 due to 123110 being converted to invalid julian date
2010366. Has anyone seen this type of behavior b4 and how is it best
resolved?

Thanks, Frank
