Both behave the same, I started with B, and shifted to I just to see if that would make any difference.

I've only ever used MAPFLD with IO type "B" (Both Input and Output)... Could it be that it should look like this?

A RPTDT L B 5 29DATFMT(*USA)
A MAPVAL(('01/01/0001' *BLANK))

Hth,

Does anyone use the MAPVAL keyword? I am having the following issue,


My date field is defined like so:
A RPTDT L I 5 29DATFMT(*USA)
A MAPVAL(('01/01/0001' *BLANK))

I am reading into a data structure defined like this:
dcl-ds dsprec likerec(display: *all);

But when I read the record (using EXFMT), a blank keyed on the screen is input as a blank which causes invalid format error when the field is used.

What am I doing wrong?
