Paul, Your right that it works fine when you have Date_in defined as 10A
but the original post had it defined as varying 256A and that does not
work - I even tried %trim on Date_in. So, I get the error with the
following definition

D Date_in S 256A Varying inz('5/7/2012')

Beyond me to explain!

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);
