Re: Date problem



Here is the move statement:

C                   MOVE      DMYSDATE      PRTSTARTD
C                   MOVE      DMYEDATE      PRTENDD
Specify the format of the date that you're moving in. If you don't specify one, it assumes that they are *ISO.
Remember: You don't have to worry about the Date-Data-Type fields (the "type L" fields) because the system KNOWS what format those are. However, it doesn't know what format your character strings are. So THAT'S What you need to tell it: 

  C     *USA/         MOVE      DMYSDATE      PRTSTARTD
  C     *USA/         MOVE      DMYEDATE      PRTENDD
I didn't test this -- but I think *USA/ is the correct format when the date is 'mm/dd/yyyy'.
