RE: more date stuff

I think you meant to say run time error.

When using *USA/, you are telling the program that the input date field
has / as the separator.  ==>  Need to change the crdate inz('03172006
') statement to inz('03/17/2006')

Can you tell me what is wrong with this code?

 

 

D dtmdy           s               d   datfmt(*USA)

D crdate          s             10a  inz('03172006  ')

 /free                          

   dtmdy = %date(crdate: *USA/);

 /end-free                      

 

 

Error when compiling:

Program Status . . . . . . . . . . . . :   00112                  

             Date, Time or Timestamp value is not valid (C G D F).

    CRDATE                CHAR(10)             '03172006  '

    DTMDY                 DATE(10)             '01/01/0001'
