Re: Date data type in CL

[Scott Mildenberger <scottmildenberger@xxxxxxxxx>]

Number one, CL cannot pass parameters by value.  I
don't know about passing a character parm and having
it show up as a date field as I have never tried that.
 Convert your procedure to not pass the parameter by
value and see if you get closer.
