What version/release of COBOL are you using?
If it's OS/VS COBOL or VS/COBOL II, check with your system folks and enquire whether Language Environment (LE) has been installed in the target LPAR. You would then need to use the LE equivilent Callable Date routines of the following DATE INTRINSIC FUNCTIONS.
If it's COBOL/370 (the successor to VS COBOL II) and greater, review the following (feeling generous today) -
| Code: |
03 WS-JULIAN-DATE PIC S9(09).
03 WS-GREG-DATE PIC 9(08).
03 WS-GREG-DATE-X REDEFINES WS-GREG-DATE PIC X(08).
MOVE 2009227 TO WS-JULIAN-DATE.
COMPUTE WS-GREG-DATE = (FUNCTION DATE-OF-INTEGER (FUNCTION INTEGER-OF-DAY (WS-JULIAN-DATE))).
|
After the calculation, the value of WS-GREG-DATE-X will equal '20090912'.
