Re: UDATE fails in RPG CGI?

[Stefan.Tageson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

According to the RPG manual:
Remember the following rules when using the user date:

 o UDATE, when specified in positions 30 through 43 of the output
   specifications, prints a 6-character numeric date field. *DATE, when
   similarly specified, prints an 8-character (4-digit year portion)
numeric
   date field. These special words can be used in three different date
   formats:
</snip>
 o For an interactive job or batch program, the user date special words are
   set to the value of the job date when the program starts running in the
   system. The value of the user date special words are not updated during
   program processing, even if the program runs past midnight or if the job
   date is changed. Use the TIME operation code to obtain the time and
   date while the program is running.

Stefan
