Hi Vern,

If you are going for CYYMMDD, you might have to use the MOVE op-code, at least at V5R4 with *CYMD in factor 1.

Sorry... why would you have to use MOVE? I mean, all of the date operations support the same date formats... so if MOVE supports it, the more modern tools do as well.

MyVar = %char(%date() :*cymd0);

The only requirement is V5R1... (required for any free format).

The *CYMD format was added in V3R2. (V3R1 supported dates, but didn't support the *CYMD format.)
