Subject: Dynamically Assigning A Value To A Date Filed


Hi All

Wonder if anyone can help.

I have the following defined in a PRGILE program.

D TestDate        S       D   DatFmt(*iso) INZ(D'2008-07-04')

However what I want to do is assign a value to TestDate at runtime.

ie Something like

Eval TestDate = '2008-07-04'


Can't find anything about how to do this and when I try it
I get a compile time message that the left and right type are not the
same.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance


Best Regards

Iain Wilson
