AW: AW: converting system date to integer

Hi,

if you are only on release V5R1M0, the easiest way is to use a move:

D  MyDate          S               D
D  MyNumDate       S              6P 0

C              Time             MyDate
C   *MDY       Move   MyDate    MyNumDate

With Release V5R1M0 it is not possible to convert a character value with
%INT or %Dec into a numeric value.

Mit freundlichen Gruessen / Best regards

Birgitta

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