*DATE type in command question

[lgoodbar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (lg - Loyd Goodbar)]

I have a command with a parameter type *DATE. I want to give it a default
value of *CURRENT or *TODAY or whatever. I can't because the compiler says
default values or special values (tried both) were not valid. Am I stuck? On
the built-in job scheduler, special values are allowed for dates. Or did IBM
do something weird?

Thanks,
Loyd Goodbar
