Re: What is wrong with this %DATE function

[Scott Klement <rpg400-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Peter,

You are telling it that PA_F55EOPR is in USA format.  To be USA format, 
it would be '01/01/2011' (not '20110101').  (USA is mm/dd/yyyy) So 
indeed, this date is not valid, just as it says.

To make this work with the string you have in PA_F55EOPR, you would do:

MinDteCR = %Date(PA_F55EOPR:*ISO0);

ISO is yyyy-mm-dd.  The zero in *ISO0 means there are no date separators.
