Re: Date in RPGLE

Hi Scott

Just a quick reading of the manual led me down a yellow brick road - there was a chart saying these were the formats to use with MOVE and MOVEL and TEST - they were not listed, as I remember, in the charts for the other opcodes and BIFs

Hey, some days my best is none too good - but I try!

And I decided not to retract my statement after seeing Booth's, thought he'd covered it for us all.

Happy Holidays
Vern

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.)
