If you do it in REXX, as already mentioned, the DATE builtin function can convert between most formats (not all). It's has that ability since OS/390 2.4. If you don't like that you can use the RDATE or RDATEF (called as a function) from my web site or CBT file 434.
It has it's own "base date" based on 1/1/1900 that I use in programs for subtracting or adding days. http://www.mzelden.com/mvsfiles/rdate.txt -- Mark Zelden - Zelden Consulting Services - z/OS, OS/390 and MVS mailto:[email protected] Mark's MVS Utilities: http://www.mzelden.com/mvsutil.html Systems Programming expert at http://expertanswercenter.techtarget.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
