Re: ##EMailNumber 01-WNY-5014817 TEST (D) Question

Jorge,

       the *CYMD date format is a 7-digit (not 8-digit!) date format.
It is a date in the format CYYMMDD, where C is either 0 for the
1900's or 1 for the 2000's.

The date format thay you want to use for YYYYMMDD is *ISO.

Changing *CYMD to *ISO in your program should solve the problem.
