Ok, reply #2:  This works when dateFld is a non-array variable, but not when
it is an array element.  Note the following two test snippets I've worked
with (the only difference between the two is that first uses a non-array
standalone date field and the second defines a date array):

Program TEST1:
  d DateUSA         s               d   DatFmt( *usa ) Inz
  d YYMMDD60        s              6  0
   /free
        DateUSA = d'2005-12-25' ;
        YYMMDD60 = %int(%char(DateUSA:*YMD0 ));
        *inLR = *On ;
        DUMP(a) ;
   /end-free

Program TEST2:
  d DateUSA         s               d   DatFmt(*usa) Inz Dim(32)
  d YYMMDD60        s              6  0
   /free
        DateUSA(1) = d'2005-12-25' ;
        YYMMDD60 = %int(%char(DateUSA(1):*YMD0 ));
        *inLR = *On ;
        DUMP(a) ;
   /end-free

Program TEST1 works, program TEST2 does not.  TEST2 issues RNQ0114 "The year
portion of a Date or Timestamp value is not in the correct range (C G D F)"
for the statement doing the %int(%char.  The dump shows DATEUSA(1) set to
'12/25/2005' and YYMMDD60 = *zeros.

I searched APARs and PTF cover letters but found nothing regarding this
issue.  This is v5r2.

TIA,
