Re: Monitor Date Conversion Fills Job Log

[David Keck <DavidKeck@xxxxxxxx>]

1. I need to discern between a zero date (which should be interpreted as a
valid null date), and other invalid dates.
2.  Readability.  Since i am coding in free format I want something that
will maintain continuity.
It seems what I coded below is not bad, but since it's a common requirement
I'll encapsulate it into a service program procedure.

why not use  TEST?
