RE: Indicators Bad - Alternate to TEST(D) available?

Yes, you could do this:

C        *ymd     test(de)            datefield
C                 if        %error
C . . .
C                 endif

How about writing your own function?

Something like

GoodDate = TestDate(somedate, '*YMD')

        I'm one of the programmers who doesn't like using indicators in
        new RPG IV code.  Yet, I find myself having to use them in a few
        cases, notably the opcode TEST.

        C        *YMD         TEST(D)        SomeDate                99
        C                     If             NOT *IN99
        ...

        Is there yet a workaround this where we don't have to use indicators
        yet?
