I do essentially the same thing: What I do differently is I don't test the date against all possibles, and I use test(de). I test until I don't have an error. It hasn't failed for me but I also haven't used it on V3R2.

Is there any way to get the date format used in the job in an RPG program? Heres my dilema. I am logging data and always want to store the date in YYYYMMDD format in an 8,0 field. So, with I do a TIME operation I get the date and time. Now, I want to do a test(d) on the date to see if it's *USA, *ISO, or *EUR. I'm seeing bugs in the way it works, though. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good way to do this? It has to be compliant with V3R2. Here's what I have that doesn't work: D DS D TimeStamp 1 14 0 D OperTime 1 6 0 INZ D OperDate 7 14 0 INZ * D ISODate S D DATFMT(*ISO) D USADate S D DATFMT(*USA) D EURDate S D DATFMT(*EUR) * C TIME TimeStamp C *USA TEST(d) OperDate 99 C *EUR TEST(d) OperDate 98 C *ISO TEST(d) OperDate 97 * C select C when (not *IN99) C MOVE OperDate USADate C MOVE USADate ISODate C MOVE ISODate MYDATE C when (not *IN98) C MOVE OperDate EURDate C MOVE EURDate ISODate C MOVE ISODate MYDATE C other C MOVE OperDate MYDATE C endsl Example of error is: 20010304 20010304 20010304 20011004 Looks like october 4, should be April 10th. 20011004 Looks like october 4, should be April 10th. 20011004 Looks like october 4, should be April 10th. +--- | This is the RPG/400 Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to RPG400-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to RPG400-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to RPG400-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +--- _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
