I fully agree with the retirement of these programs. If DATE() doesn't fill the bill, something else may.

The internal DATE() function in REXX seems to provide most of what is needed, though. You can translate date formats .. and I usually do date calculations using DATE('B). I'm pretty sure REXXDATE did date calculations/conversion - but I need to dig up my old code. If I can find out more I will post, but would consider converting to DATE() and some REXX code to avoid reliance on the module (which I doubt is supported).

I has suddenly started blowing up, repeatable, for one application. I really don't want to dis-assemble it for debugging purposes. Regards, Richard Schuh
