Subject: RPG IV Date Question


Hi,
     This may sound like a silly question, but how do you get today's date
into a date field? I can do almost anything in RPG 400 or 3, but I'm still
learning RPG 4. In the past I have moved UDATE to a 6.0 field, added that
and 20000000 to an 8 digit field, then moved that to the date field. There
has got to be an more elegant way to do this, isn't there? Thanks!
