Did you comment the data structure?

How about, just to see where the problem lies:

D TestField s 10A
C eval TestField = '01'
+ '06'
+ '20'
+ '15'
C eval DTEOFHIRE = %date(TestField: *usa0)
C eval DTEOFHIRE = %date(('01'
+ '06'
+ '20'
+ '15'): *usa0)
C eval DTEOFHIRE = %date(%char(X)
C + %char(EmpDay2)
C + %char(EmpCentury)
C + %char(EmpYear2): *usa0)

I would expect a result of "01/06/2015". Then, during debug, you may see where it fails.

Two things: I messed up with mdy0; also, I am not sure where the %date bif was in v5r3.

Thank you very much for the suggestions

In Debug mode:
X = 01.
EMPDAY2 = 15.
EMPCENTURY = 20.
DTEOFHIRE = '01/01/0001'

I modified it slightly and tried this code:

C eval DTEOFHIRE = %date(%char(X)
C + %char(EmpDay2)
C + %char(EmpCentury)
C + %char(EmpYear2): *mdy0)
EMPYEAR2 = 01.

I get the same error.

The only thing I can think that I might be doing wrong is I have this H statement in the
program:
H OPTION(*SRCSTMT : *NODEBUGIO)DATFMT(*USA)

Thanks,

Gary
