Re: date validate

[Bill Meecham <BMeecham@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I built a service program that contains various utilities like, day of the
week for a particular date; change case of a string to upper,lower, name,
location, sentence; check string for low hex values; find the date that is X
days away from given date; and among others, validate a date based on a
numeric input....input can be md; mdy; or mdcy and it returns the format
that I want the date in; zymd; cymd; mdcy; iso; ymd or an error code.
 
My vote would be to create a service program or module that could be plugged
in where needed.

Well one way is to use real date fields in your files and programs, 
instead of numbers or some such animal.
