RE: UDATE question

["Fisher, Don" <Dfisher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Easiest way to subtract a certain number of days from the current date is
the following:
EVAL OneTwentyDaysAgo = 
     %DATE() - %DAYS(120)

OneTwentyDaysAgo would be a date field in this case.

UDATE doesn't give you today's date all the time.  It gives you the date on
which the job began. 

Hope that helps.

        This should be easy, but I can't figure it out. I checked the RPGILE
.PDF with no luck. I am getting an error when I put UDATE into a field I've
defined as a date data type. I then want to do a   SUBDUR  120:*D on it.
What I need to be able to do is subtract 120 days from today's date. How
would you do this? I know this is probably a common thing to do.
