Using MONITOR For The First Time

[Robert Munday <rwmunday@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Fellow RPGers,


I have the opportunity to use the MONITOR opcode.  I am converting an input file from 8 digits to *ISO.  The analyst got an error when testing so I don't have the exact error code in the documentation supplied.  I coded it thus:

// Convert The Creation Date To ISO For Comparison To The Work Creation Date
    Monitor;                                // Monitor For Date Error                 
      ASDF_ISO = %Date(DATECRT :*ISO);      // Convert Create Date To ISO        
    On-Error *Program;                                                                
      ASDF_ISO = %Date();                   // Default To Today's Date                
    EndMon;                                                              

I will default to today's date if the Monitor detects an error.  Is the On-Error *Program correct usage in this example?

Thanks,
