This is in the UD documentation for ICONV:
3 Invalid date for “D” conversion code only
and
3 Date was converted correctly, but month and day were inverted in input value.
Examples on UD 7.2:
Value to convert: ?1/31/2010
Conv Code: ?D4
OCONV: 1/31/2010 to 1/31/2010 Status: 1
ICONV: 1/31/2010 to 15372 Status: 0
Value to convert: ?1/13/2010
Conv Code: ?D4
OCONV: 1/13/2010 to 1/13/2010 Status: 1
ICONV: 1/13/2010 to 15354 Status: 0
Value to convert: ?13/1/2010
Conv Code: ?D4
OCONV: 13/1/2010 to 13/1/2010 Status: 1
ICONV: 13/1/2010 to 13/1/2010 Status: 3
Value to convert: ?13/1/2010
Conv Code: ?D4/DMY
OCONV: 13/1/2010 to 13/1/2010 Status: 1
ICONV: 13/1/2010 to 15354 Status: 0
The UD manual seems a little off - when I got the status = 3 I didn't get a
valid ICONV. Also it also states it ignores the "/DMY" on the ICONV - but using
it gives me the valid ICONV with a Status of 0.
