If it is important, replacing the ACCEPT FROM DATE with the intrinsic
FUNCTION CURRENT-DATE will give you all the information you need.

Subject: Cobol ACCEPT-DATE
Hi folks
Is ACCEPT-DATE supposed to return GMT time, or local time?
We have some issues with a program which was recently rescheduled to run
just after midnight (British Summer Time) - but the date is a day out.. I'm
wondering if it's because it's an old program getting the date in the wrong
way somehow (that we can fix), or if that's just the way Cobol works..??
Cheers
Brian
