OK, I have to ask ... it's been bugging me ... There's recently been a thread asking questions about COBOL and ACCEPT DATE apparently giving a bad date right after midnight.
Can someone tell me, where exactly the DATE is taken from when a COBOL program executes ACCEPT DATE? Is it (a) the running system clock, local time, as of the moment ACCEPT DATE is executed? - or - (b) the date in effect at the moment the program (or step) started? If it were (b) and the program started just a hair _before_ midnight, then that could explain the OP's problem ... Thanks.
