RE: Passing a Date field in a Prototype

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

As long as you're passing a date, and not character or numeric, it doesn't
matter.

Date fields are stored in an internal format that has nothing to do with the
date format you're displaying them in.  When you pass a date, you are
passing the bytes stored in the internal format.

This has been my take, and experience, on date fields anyway.

If I have a date field in a prototype defined as a const with a date format
of *ISO, can I pass
a date in a different format or do I have to convert it myself to the
correct format before using
it in the prototyped call?

ex.

D myProc       pr
D    isoDate             10d  const  datfmt(*iso)

D cymdDate          s    10d  datfmt(*cymd)

C         callp     myProc(cymdDate)
