H DATEDIT(*YMD)                                      
D WRKNUM8         S              8  0                
C                   MOVE      *DATE         WRKNUM8  
C     WRknum8       DSPLY                            
C                   EVAL      *INLR = *ON            
C     Exit          TAG                              
C                   RETURN

Hi All,

This should be simple but I've looked and looked...

I just need to initialize an 8 digit numeric field with today's date in
YYYYMMDD...

I can do it if I jump through hoops with a date-type field and parsing out
the actual numbers but isn't there a simpler solution using UDATE or *DATE
or a single move?

Thanks in advance,
                        Jerry
