Thank you for all responses. There are ways that I can "roll my own" but
here is the quote from the v6r1 ILE RPG Language Reference manual (chapter
10, page 228):
"The Y edit code is normally used to edit a 3- to 9-digit date field. It
suppresses the leftmost zeros of date fields, up to but not including the
digit preceding the first separator. Slashes are inserted to separate the
day, month, and year."
Either the manual is wrong or the compiler is.
I will probably move the date to a numeric field and output it.
As always, I appreciate all responses.

In the printer output specs of my program, I am attempting to suppress the
leading zero on a *DATE field. According to the RPG ILE manual (v6r1) I
should be able to do this with a "Y" edit code.
Unfortunately, the RPG compiler gives *RNF7059 (Editing is not valid with
a field that is not numeric; the Edit Code or Edit Word defaults to
blanks).
Am I missing something obvious?
