RE: Converting from %date() to numeric

[<Rick.Chevalier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ron,

You need to ask for a reply.  Try this:

        d Result          S              8S 0
        d Reply           s              1a

      /FREE
       Result = %Int(%Char(%Date():*ISO0));
       Dsply Result '' Reply;
       *Inlr = *On;
      /END-FREE

If you display your job log you will see the value that flashed across the 
screen.

HTH,

Rick

Hmm,
Wanting to test this code out, I coded this:
     d Result          S              8S 0
      /FREE
       Result = %Int(%Char(%Date():*ISO0));
       Dsply Result;
       *Inlr = *On;
      /END-FREE

but for some reason, the Dsply flashes to the screen and ends.  It doesn't
wait like it normally does.  Any reason for this?
