That looks like *HIVAL to me? Can you chain with *hival?

btw, the date field already knows what it is. (The actual data in the field is not "9991231"). In other words, the H-spec is not telling the program the date's format; it is telling the program how to present it.

btw2, 9999 is not in the range 1940 to 2039. So the error message for *mdy is correct.

I have a file that contains a date field with a value of 9999-12-31. I
need to "chain" this record into a program that has an Hspec of
datefmt(*mdy). I am getting error RNQ0114, Date or timestamp value not in
correct range. If I change the program to datefmt(*usa) the chain works.
The program specs say I need to use datefmt(*MDY). Tried entering a D
spec with the field name with DATEFMT(*mdy). Didn't work. Any ideas?
