RE: date & Test still not working

On the TEST statement, you can either specify the "E" extender or the error
indicator, but not both.  Change the line to one of the following:

038400 c                   test (D)                datefield       --22--
  or 
038400 c                   test (D E)              datefield           

All the best

Jonathan

038400 c                   test (D E)              datefield       --22--

======>                            a
*RNF5055 20 a      038400  The E operation extender cannot be specified
when a
                           indicator is specified.
038500 c                   eval      *in22 = *on
038600 c
038700 c                   iter
