Unless you have modified IBM's run-time library, the COBOL
ACCEPT from DATE
and
ACCEPT from CONSOLE
are mutually exclusive (and always have been). "DATE" is a reserved word in
COBOL so you can't have
ACCEPT DATE FROM CONSOLE
You *could* have an
ACCEPT WS-DATE from Console
and then that would work the way you say.
