You know, Dave, Assuming that what you're saying is true (ACCEPT DATE comes off the live local clock at the moment it is executed), then there's only one logical explanation left: Someone (something within the program) messes with the date value between execution of ACCEPT DATE and the MOVE of the datevalue to the Report-Page-Header.
I'm totally puzzled.

It's been a few years, but we have a program that displays record counts and times as it processes. This is accomplished by ACCEPTs (one for TIME and one for DATE as I recall) and a DISPLAY. But I also don't understand how the date can be a day off from the time. Once the local clock hits midnight, the date should roll. The OP states that is not what is being observed, so maybe I don't understand how clocks work anymore. Maybe the ACCEPT for date was before midnight and the ACCEPT for time was after midnight ??? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
