Date format Problem ?

["Luqman" <pearlsoft@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I try to set Date format to *DMY in DDS using following syntax and run
my program,

A            MDATE           L  B  4 40DATFMT(*DMY)

The following error occurs.
 "The year portion of a Date or Timestamp value is not in the correct range 
"

If I use any other date format besides *DMY, then it works fine.
I am using Client Access on my Laptop having Windows XP, and my system date 
format in Regional Settings is set to : dd/mm/yyyy.

In Source, I have defined the field as under:-

D MDATE   S     10D
C EXFMT RECORD1

Further, how can I set the date format to 4-Digit Year  like (DD/MM/YYYY)
and pass the current date to the MDATE.


Best Regards,
