Re: Date to Jan 1 this year - 3year

["Bill Hopkins" <BHopkins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 *RNF0309 20      1 The first parameter for %SUBDT is not valid. 
 *RNF7419 20      1 Array index is missing. 
 *RNF7421 30      1 Operands are not compatible with the type of operator.

I kept getting above. Thought I was going crazy.

Had this

C                   Eval      YY   = %subdt(*date() - 
C                                    %years(3):*Y) 

Thanks Joel *** Note the * not %

Its been a long day. I look at it a dozen times while doing other coding. 
Still did not see it even though
"*RNF0309 20      1 The first parameter for %SUBDT is not valid. "

Thought I was doing something I had done in v5r2 and was not good here at 
v5r1. So looking for other solutions and 
did not even need.  If I could only read.

That is what I get for working on Client with RPGII S/36 on AS/400 this 
week. I can never remember whats good and whats not in each V&R or 
RPGII,RPGIII,RPGIV,and ohh great /free . Who does this and who does that. 
What code they understand and what they do not. What style? What 
standards? etc.etc.etc. rant,rant,rant I'll stop!
 
Dang, I'm a mess this evening. 

Thanks Everyone Else

Hey Bill,

Just to clarify, Procedures and /free are not intrinsically related...

How about something simple:

<psuedo-code>

d myDateStr         ds
d  year                     4  0 
d  dash1                    1      inz( '-' )
d  month                    2  0   inz( 1 )
d  dash2                    1      inz( '-' )
d  day                      2  0   inz( 1 )

c                   eval       year = %subdt( %date() - %years(3) : *y )

</psuedo-code>

Now myDateStr should equal '20000101' as a string.  You could even then
use the string to get a real date field...

c                   eval       myDate = %date( myDateStr )


HTH,

Joel
