Subject: REXX DATE - Julian and Centry
I don't understand why there is the following restriction on the Date()
function:
NOTE:
(1) If the Century or Julian format is specified, then no other options
are permitted. These two formats are provided for compatibility
with
programs written for releases prior to VM/ESA(R) version 2 release
1.1. It is recommended that they not be used for new programs.
There are still some programs/systems that use Julian. For instance,
EREP requires DATE input in Julian.
Having said that, how can I compute a day 90 days in the past, specified
in Julian (in REXX)?
