Tony,

Since the TEST opcode won't accept the subfield, try using MONITOR
instead...

/free
    monitor ;
        dateField = %date( strDate : *USA );
    on-error ;
        // Handle error
    endmon ;
/end-free

If I remember from a thread a while back, this is supposed to perform
better than TEST also...

For anyone interested, I have more on Handling Dates in RPGIV here:
