RE: RPG IV Date Question

["Jansen, Larry" <ljansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can use a MOVE statement with UDATE, as follows:


 FMT C
CL0N01Factor1+++++++Opcode&ExtFactor2+++++++Result++++++++Len++D+HiLoEq
0001.01 c     *mdy          move      udate         iso_date

in which ISO_DATE is defined as a date data type.

Good luck!

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!
