Subject:  Dumb date question



V3R7M0 RPG IV


I'm writing a new program, that has a display screen that the users are to input
values on, one of these is an As Of Date.  Wanting the users to input the value
as MM/DD/YY I set it up as zoned 6,0 with a date format (Y).  Before I show
the screen I want to initialize the date to today's date.


>>>>>>>>>>>>>Use UDATE instead of *DATE, it is the 6,0 date.



C                   Eval      ParmAsOf   = *Date
