RE: Date compare Best Practices

[<Rick.Chevalier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oops.  There is an error in the last C-spec.  It should be MOVEL instead of 
MOVE. 

         C                              MOVETOYR                        TOYMD

Should be
         C                              MOVELTOYR               TOYMD
