Thanks to Barbara and Scott for their (as always) enlightening responses.

If you want to be really safe, you would create a wrapper procedure for
CL to call, with character parameters, that you pass on to the real
procedure using %DATE(parm). Or the wrapper could pass the parameters
by reference, and pass them on directly to the real procedure.
I may end up going this route anyway - it will allow me to do better
checking (ie. TEST(E D) ) to ensure that the character strings passed in
are indeed valid dates. Otherwise I have to monitor for RNX0112 when I
use the parameters the first time. This is one of those times I wish I
could overload subprocedures.
Thanks again,
Adam
