AW: Passing Parms

A date is always a 4Byte binary value.
Date formats are only used to make this binary value readable.
In RPG this binary value is converted into a readable date, but for
calculating and updating it is reconverted into the appropriate binary
value.

If a date format is specified for a date field in either D-Specs or the
file, this date format is used.
If no date format is specified in the D-specs, the date format specified in
the H-Specs is used.
If neither in the D-Specs nor in the H-Specs a date format is specified,
*ISO is used.

I still struggle with the issue of passing date parms to a program....

Is there a specific format that they must be in? the user is going to enter
it as a type *USA, but it seems like at least from the command line I can
never get them to pass correctly.

Suggestions or hints?


If you bought it, it was hauled by a truck - somewhere, sometime.
