RE: Embedded SQL - fetching a date

Did you create the program or set the option like this?

C/EXEC SQL                 
C+ SET OPTION DATFMT = *USA
C/END-EXEC                 

Or

C/EXEC SQL                 
C+ SET OPTION DATFMT = *ISO
C/END-EXEC                 

The default is *MDY. 

Thank you,

Subject: Embedded SQL - fetching a date

I can't seem to fetch a date format field and place it in a date format
field in a Data Structure.  If I change the field in the DS to be 10A
instead of D, then it works.
 
Is there something I can do so I can drop the value right into a date
format field instead of having to drop it into an Alpha field and then
move it to a date format field myself?
 
I don't seem to have this problem when I do a simple Select Into
statement.
 
Thanks,
