Re: What is wrong with this %DATE function

I know you have resolved your issue - but for the archives - with the example as shown there were two things wrong.

First the character string shown is not a *USA date - assumedly it is *ISO and _that_ is what should have been used in %Date.

Second, since the source is a character field and has no separators, the format needed a ‘0’ (zero) indicate that fact.

So as shown the example should have been:

MinDteCR = %Date((PA_F55EOPR):*ISO0);

Hi list!

DMinDteCR S D DatFMT(*USA)

/free

MinDteCR = %Date((PA_F55EOPR):*USA);

*inlr = *on;

/end-free

It is blowing up with this error: Date, Time or Timestamp value is not valid (C G D F).
