RE: Date Validation

I tried this code and it worked for me with V7R1.
Input parm of '5/7/2012' or '5/07/2012' or '05/07/2012'
CALL PGM(TESTRPG) PARM('5/7/2012')
CALL PGM(TESTRPG) PARM('05/7/2012')
CALL PGM(TESTRPG) PARM('5/07/2012')

dtestrpg PR extpgm('TESTRPG')
D Date_in 10A

dtestrpg PI
D Date_in 10A

D Date_Out S 8 0
D Date_Outc S 25a

Date_out = %uns(%char(%date(Date_in:*usa):*iso0));
Date_outc = %char(%date(Date_in:*usa):*iso0);

I get the following error with your code when used with the original definitions for the fields and 5/7/2012 for date_in.

Date, Time or Timestamp value is not valid.

The %date won't process the month and day with only one digit for *usa.

Here's another way to get the "Date_out" from the test program below.

Date_out = %uns(%char(%date(Date_in:*usa):*iso0));

This works for 05/07/2012 and 5/7/2012.
