Re: Dumb date question

Okay, I changed my program to use UDate instead of *Date and it works
fine, thanks everyone.

But, as someone stated, UDate is the job date, not the system date.  Users
have been known to use // DATE mmddyy  (A S/36 emulation way to change
to job date) so I think the system date would be better.

I think I'll try this TIME, which I've never used, and Peter, I can call you 
Peter,
can't I?, are you saying that TIME gives the system time and not the job time?

Jim Langston
