Re: Expanding Dates

Thanks,

To be accepted for RPG date bifs/opcodes. So far they have not z-sup the 2 digit year.
I was disapointed that the opcodes could not expand the numbers in dates that had a divider, but I'm over it.

I will have to investigate the CEE part, I claim ignorance.

Accepted by what? If you mean the RPG date opcodes/bifs, then no, you
have to have the zero.

If you mean the ILE CEE date operations, take a look at the ZD and ZM
picture strings. (Strangely, there's no ZY... so you could do 01/5/09
or 1/5/09, but not 1/5/9.)

If you mean another set of routines, it'll depend on the routine.

Wasn't quite sure of the search to use on the archives. I tried 'expanding dates' but that was unproductive.

If you have an incomming date of 4/24/09 or 11/5/09 , where Month or Day is zero suppressed. Is there a short way to get them accepted. Do they always have to be 2 pos for month and day?
