Jeff,

Once you get the date being passed correctly, you'll also find you
have trouble returning a 1-byte result to a CLLE program.  The problem
is in the calling conventions used by CL vs RPG.  Barbara Morris has
explained it numerous times, but I don't feel like searching the
archive for the exact explanation.

The simplest thing to do is to return a two-byte value instead.
