RE: Converting alpha dates to date data type fields (m/d/yy)

[qsrvbas@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Tom Liotta)]

Richard:

It seems to me you could call CEEDAYS to convert whatever your input is to 
Lillian format, then call CEEDATE to put the Lillian into whatever output 
format you need. These are pretty simple calls once you see them work (as is 
often the case.) See the ILE CEE APIs guide.

Somebody, not sure who so I can't supply credit, posted ILE CL examples of 
these that are great for learning. I could post them again if you'd like. 
Modifying for ILE RPG is then easy.
