| Code: |
SAMP1:PROC OPTIONS(MAIN);
DCL TODAYS_YYMMDD CHAR(06);
DCL DOC_DATE_FMT CHAR(06) INIT 131001;
DCL DATE BUILTIN;
DCL DAYS BUILTIN;
DCL DATE1 CHAR(06) INIT 0;
DCL DATE2 CHAR(06) INIT 0;
TODAYS_YYYYMMDD = DATE;
DATE1 = DAYS(DOC_DATE_FMT);
DATE2 = DAYS(TODAYS_YYMMDD);
PUT SKIP LIST('THE VALUE OF DATE1:',DATE1);
PUT SKIP LIST('THE VALUE OF DATE21:',DATE2);
END SAMP1; |
I am using above code to get days.. I am facing the below error
| Code: |
INVALID ATTRIBUTE SPECIFICATION AFTER 'E_FMT CHAR(06) INIT'. 'INIT 131001' IG
INVALID ATTRIBUTE SPECIFICATION AFTER 'DATE1 CHAR(06) INIT'. 'INIT 0' IGNORED
INVALID ATTRIBUTE SPECIFICATION AFTER 'DATE2 CHAR(06) INIT'. 'INIT 0' IGNORED
IDENTIFIER 'DAYS' IS NOT DECLARED. EXTERNAL ENTRY ASSUMED. |
Can any one help me.. I am very new to PLI programming |

| Begin by telling us what version of the compiler you are using. |

| Can you define a CHAR and INIT it with a numeric not a character value? |

Master of the Universe! That compiler has been out of service for a decade 
OS PL/I did not have the DAYS built-in function (or many others). To the left, I'd urge you to urge your sysprogs to upgrade to an at least in-service compiler; to the right, jumping from OS PL/I 2.3 to Enterprise PL/I (4.4 is, I believe, the current version) may well be a non-trivial task. |
