RE: Date Type -to- Numeric

D2=%DEC(D1 : *ISO)

Where:

D D1              S               D   INZ(*SYS)
D D2              S              8  0 

Works the same for time

Subject: Date Type -to- Numeric

Hi RPG'ers,

I'm writing a simple utility to fix some data in a file, and brushing up
on my /Free format coding as well.

I can't seem to figure out how to get a Date Type field (*System Date)
into our standard way of storing dates, which is Numeric 8,0 YYYYMMDD.

Is there an easy way to do this without jumping through Data Structure
hoops, or breaking out of /Free to use Move?

Help!  and Thanks,

//Jerry/
