there is a TEST opcode ( I don't know if there is a free form for this opcode).
C     *iso          test(DE)                myISODate
C                   if        %error

Subject: Monitor Date Conversion Fills Job Log







In populating a file with true date fields from another large file with
YYMMDD signed numeric date fields I find that my job log fills up with
RNX0112 messages (Date Not Valid) due to numerous Zero YYMMDD date values.
The severity on this message is 50 so I can't reasonably solve the problem
by changing the job's logging level.  A sample is a transaction void date
which usually contains zero.  I am getting around the problem by
specifically testing for a zero date in an IF statement, before checking
for generic date errors via the monitor clause as shown below.
      Is there a more elegant solution ?

Message ID . . . . . . :   RNX0112       Severity . . . . . . . :   50
Message type . . . . . :   Escape
Message . . . . :   Date, Time or Timestamp value is not valid.

if hdr_VoidDate = *zero;
   hdr2_vDateISO = d'0001-01-01';
else;
   monitor;
      hdr2_vDateISO = %date(hdr_VoidDate : *YMD);   // Transaction Date
*ISO
   on-error;
      hdr2_vDateISO = d'0001-01-01';       // default date
   endmon;
endif;

Thanks, Dave
