Re: date function

["Peter Dow" <pcdow@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey guys, read the post - it's RPG/400, not ILE RPG.

Nevertheless, I'd agree with everybody - write a tiny ILE RPG program to do
the date calculation and call it from your RPG/400 program if that's
possible.

And as Rob Berendt asked:

BTW, is ILE RPG an extra? It's been available on all the AS/400's I've
worked on, but since I've never been in on the purchasing side I have no
idea. If it's not available, then you'll have to write a date routine. How
many thousands of date routines are there on the AS400 these days?
