You got it. Yes I did come across this yesterday. One of our programs used 
one style and another used the other style. One worked the other didn't. It 
had me puzzled for a while.

Jerry,

I would suggest if the date was the 1st of the month the first locate
statement would not find the value as this performs a string comparison as
it assumes AL ascending left justified. ie 1 and 01 are not equivalent
stings

However, the second locate statement would find the value as AR ascending
right justified will perform a numerical comparison and in this case 1 and
01 are equivalent values.

Regards,
Stewart

Try this one

       A = '1'
       DAY = OCONV(DATE(),'DD')
       CRT A:'   ':DAY
       LOCATE DAY IN A<1> SETTING MV THEN
          CRT 'FOUND'
       END ELSE
          CRT 'DID NOT FIND'
       END
       LOCATE(DAY,A,1;MV;'AR') THEN
          CRT 'FOUND'
       END ELSE
          CRT 'NOT FOUND'
       END
    END
