Re: Date verification with multiple values on Green Screen

I wanted to check for a valid date value with the TEST(DE) but it seems that will not work either since even though 010108 is tested as

TEST(DE) *MDY DateField;

It generates an error...which I am assuming is because the field is a 10a and not a 6,0.

Perhaps you could define the field as part of a data structure, and then overlay other data types on it. I stick display file fields into data structures all the time, whenever I need to to combine, split, and/or otherwise redefine them.
