Subject: TEST (D) question


Hi Everyone,   I am having problems with the following code:

D DateIn          S              8  0 INZ(*Zeros)
D DateMDY         S               D   DATFMT(*USA)
D DateYMD         S               D   DATFMT(*ISO)
D Days            S              5  0 INZ(*Zeros)
D DateAlpha       S              8
...
C                  Move      DateIn        DateAlpha
C    *MDY0         Test (D)                DateAlpha              99
C                  If        *In99
C                  Except    ErrorDtl
C                  Iter
C                  EndIf
C                  Move      DateIn        DateMDY
C                  AddDur    Days:*Days    DateMDY
C                  Move      DateMDY       DateIn

Here is an exerpt from the dump that is produced:

Procedure Name . . . . . . . . . . . . :   AGEDATA
Program Name . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   AGEDATA
    Library . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   RDOTSON
Module Name. . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   AGEDATA
Program Status . . . . . . . . . . . . :   00112
              Date, Time or Timestamp value is not valid (C G D F).
Previous Status  . . . . . . . . . . . :   00112
              Date, Time or Timestamp value is not valid (C G D F).
Statement in Error . . . . . . . . . . : 00000245

...

DATEALPHA             CHAR(8)              '02292013'       '
DATEFORMAT            CHAR(4)              '*MDY'           '
DATEIN                PACKED(8,0)          02292013.        '
DATEMDY               DATE(10)             '10/05/1999'     '
DATEYMD               DATE(10)             '0001-01-01'     '
DAYS                  PACKED(5,0)          00357.           '

I get an error when the program tries to move DATEIN to DATEMDY.

My question is this:  Why wasn't *IN99 set on by the TEST(D) command since 
02292013 is an invalid date?   This error also occurs if DATEIN is a 
negative value (do ask).

I also tried the following lines with the same result:

C   *MDY0         Test (DE)               DateAlpha
C                 If        %Error

Can someone explain what I am missing?

Thanks,
