Is this what you are talking about when you write, "is your system default set
at YYYYMMDD as a
default?".

TIA,

I've not tried using edit code Z on a date field on the screen.  I use
edit code Y.  Would that make a difference?   (I also find the users like
the EDTCDE(Y) a lot better too as they can enter their dates successfully
in a number of ways.)

So far as the rest goes, is your system default set at YYYYMMDD as a
default?  I am used to seeing date fields in the D Specs defined as "D"
fields, not "S" fields.  I'm also used to date fields not otherwise
defined being stored as mmddyy.

        Subject:        *MDY (Factor 1) for Version 4r4



We converted our OS/400 from V4R3 to V4R4 a few weeks ago. I am having
some
difficulties with the *MDY with the "Move" Operator.  These calculations
were
working fine in v4r3..

#BEGDAT is defined within the Screen DDS as a (6,0) Numeric field. The
user will
key in the MMDDYY.
A            #BEGDT         6Y 0B 13 37COLOR(WHT)
A                                      EDTCDE(Z)


PXBEGDT is defined within the File DDS as a Date Field (CCYYMMDD)....
 A            PXBEGD        L         TEXT('Date')


C     *MDY          move      #BEGDT        PXBEGD


In V4R3 we compiled all programs using CVTOPT(*DATETIME), but now in V4R4
is
will not compile with the CvtOpt option of *DATETIME, I have to use *NONE
for
this parameter or it will not compile.

Also, now I cannot use the INZ on a program defined Date Field.  **I tried
to
use INZ(d'0001-01-01')** as well, but the compiler didn't like that
either.
What's the buzz??

D LowDate         S                   LIKE(PXBEGD) INZ('0001-01-01')
D HighDate        S                   Like(PXENDD) INZ('2040-12-31')


*RNF3430 20     68 006501  Initial value '0001-0... does not match data
type of
field
                           LOWDATE. Initial value is ignored.


If I wanted to initialize the Program Defined Date Field in the "D" Spec,
how
would I code It??

TIA,
Darlene Bryant
