NOTE: This is v3r2 RPG-IV; the TIME op code requires a numeric result field. I need to retrieve the current date (NOT job date) in an RPG-IV program compiled at v3r2 and end up storing that date in YYYYMMDD format. Here's my snipped up code: h DatFmt(*ISO) debug c Time $Time14 14 0 I was hoping that the DatFmt(*ISO) might force the TIME op code to format the date in the result field as YYYYMMDD, but it yields MMDDYYYY. If I do a CHGJOB DATFMT(*YMD), then I get the desired result. Unfortunately, I cannot change the job's date format in production. Is there a way to retrieve the current date in the format I need, or a way to determine the format that the TIME op code will generate so I can convert it as necessary at run time? - Dan Bale (I am *NOT* "Dale" http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/200105/msg00281.html )
