Can that allow a zero for the date in case I didn't want to use the date 
as a search criteria if it was not entered.  Default seems to be 
0001-01-01.

Yes, change the display file to use the L data type and let the 5250 
display
manager do the validation for you.

Subject: Using ISO To Test Date.

Using the following to test a date and I'm not getting what I want.

c     *Iso          Test(de)                Crcfdt
c                   If        %Error 
c                   Eval      *In50 = *On 
c                   Eval      Msgdata = 'Invalid Date' 
c                   Exsr      Send_Error 
c                   Iter 
c                   EndIf 

Crcfdt is defined as P(8,0) and is an input field on a display file.  If I 

put in 200405 and then say forget the remainder of the date, it ends up 
saying it's 0020/04/05 which is a valid date according to *ISO.  Any ideas 

on what I should do to avoid this?  Any edit code I could use in the 
display file to left justify and right fill with 0's?  Thanks,
