RE: free-format move *USA date value to 6-digit numeric in YMDfor mat

Don, you're talking about two different things.
The compiler was the same, but the SQL preprocessor on V5R3 changed, so that
is what your problem was. Two different companies make the SQL preprocessor
(IBM US) and the RPG Compiler (IBM Canada).

While they do ship the compilers as separate programs, they are not
necessarily the same compilers that came with the previous releases.

After upgrading to V5R3, I discovered some of my SQLRPGLE programs could not
be compiled.  However, I could compile them on our V5R2 system. Compiling
them using TGTRLS(*PRV) on the V5R3 system was unsuccessful.  These programs
use /DEFINE with a /COPY member for data structure and prototype
definitions.

An awkward workaround was provided by IBM involving using the precompiler to
create the source and then compiling from that source.

but actually they ship and support with PTFs the actually V5R1, V5R2, and
V5R3 compilers as separate programs.
