>>  This may sound like a silly question, but how do you get today's date
into a date field?

In V5 you can do Eval DateField = %Date()

on earlier releases you can Move *Date or UDate into the date field or use
the TIME opcode to target the date field.  An alternative approach (V4R2?
and later) is to use the INZ keyword on the D spec definition of the date
field i.e. INZ(*SYS) or INZ(*JOB) depending on which you want.
