Hi,
You need the code to look more like this
Result = %int(%char( %date(udate):*iso0)))
%Date requires 1 parm to work. Hope this helps.
AS other people have already pointed out, you don't need to specify an
argument to %date(). By itself, it returns the current system date.
I would like to add, that the way you did it (with UDATE) will return the
JOB DATE rather than the SYSTEM DATE. In other words, UDATE is the date
that your job started (when you signed on or the SBMJOB command was
executed, etc) If your program runs past midnight, the job date and system
date won't match anymore -- the job date won't change, but the system date
will.
It's my recommendation that people never use UDATE or *DATE or anything
else that retrieves the job date. It's just as easy to get the current
date using %date(), and it'll lead to far fewer complications as time goes
on and your program is used in more different environments.
So, use %date(). Never UDATE or *DATE.
