Hi,
I need to convert the current date to integer of date.
But i am facing the below error
Function argument "WS-CURR-DATE" did not have the correct type for function "INTEGER-OF-DATE". The statement was discarded.
Below is the declaration of variables in working storage
01 WS-CURR-DATE PIC X(08).
01 WS-CURR-DATE-INTGER PIC S9(09) COMP.
.
.
.
.
COMPUTE WS-CURR-DATE-INTGER = FUNCTION INTEGER-OF-DATE (WS-CURR-DATE)
Please let me know how to rectify this.... |

| Read the manual to see what the data format of the variables are that the function is expecting and also check that the data within the variables is in the correct format. |

| Hint: if you are going to convert a date variable to an integer, would it not be a nice thing if the date variable WAS NUMERIC before the conversion occurred? |
