IN RPG using DS we can change date format. For example go
through the link
http://tutorialindia.com/articles/as400/ile_rpg_iv_data_stru
cture_for_date_format_conversion.php


Another method is to convert date into another format is
MOVE command.

In MOVE command we can specify date format. But one should
take care about compatibility.
example:
*mdy MOVE field DATE

Also we can use %date inbuilt function to change character
into date. So use %date in this way:
1. First convert date1 into character using %char.
2. then use %date to convert into desirable date format.
syntax:
%DATE{(expression{:date-format})}

%date also use to fetch system date.
