I've a zoned 8,0 that is being MOVEd to a packed 6,0. I want to convert
this to free form.
I can think of putting the zoned 8,0 into a data structure with a zoned
6,0 overlaying the last 6 positions, then use an assignment statement.
In the following, I wanted to use CNVDAT instead of CNVDT8. That can
work with fields from a file, didn't work so far, so will use an
assignment of CNVDT8 = CNVDAT for now.
* Allow "MOVE" of 8-digit ot 6-digiy
D DATE8TO6 DS
D CNVDT8 8s 0
D CNVDT6 6S 0 overlay(DATE8TO6 : 3)
Then CNVDT6 should have the value I want - this is 8-digit dates to
6-digit in YMD format.
Is there a better way? I looked at several articles - Bob Cozzi, Jon
Paris, some other forums - none that I saw dealt with the MOVE from a
longer numeric to shorter.
TIA
Vern
