That you hadn't actually run this code in dev before. So it's set the first time it's run and stays set. Or that you bounced the environment. Or someone else did and didn't tell you.

Re: [U2] Date Problem
I thought of that, but this is going through Redback. In my development and testing accounts, Redback is set to login, run the needed code, then log out. This is slow, but avoids the cashing issue w/o bouncing Redback for every change I make. Thus, the process should be new. I could see it being set based on the last time Redback was bounced, but then why would it work in my development account but not my test account?

[U2] Date Problem
I have an INCLUDE that I use in ALL programs I touch. It simply does a bunch of assigning of variables so that I can use them as needed. One of these assignments is: TODAY = @DATE I have 1 program in 1 account that is consistently returning: 16066 (which is 12/26/11). This program is initiated via a Redback call but so are many many others. In the pgm that is failing, immediately after my INCLUDE, I just added code to write the following to disk: TODAY DATE() @DATE Both TODAY and @DATE ALWAYS return 16066 for this 1 program, but no others. The same program is working correctly in other accounts, and the value of TODAY is correct in EVERY other program I have ever used. Does anyone have a clue? I could replace @DATE with DATE() in my INCLUDE, but to do my due diligence, I should recompile EVERY program that uses the INCLUDE (and that is NOT going to happen).
