Answer Posted / katiyar

A simple method, if you are good user of MOVE and MOVEL. Use
the below code to change date format of one type to another.

movel *date date1 4 0
move *date date2 4 0

move date1 datex
movel date2 datex

Where *date system defined date with mmddyyyy format. Hope
it will help.

===========================================================
Second method, You need to define Data Structure, as below.
Variable starts with 'F' is actually used for first type of
date.

And variable starts with 'S' actually used for second date
format.

I DS
I 1 80FDATE
I 1 40FYEAR
I 1 20FCC
I 3 40FYY
I 5 120SDATE
I 5 60SMO
I 7 80SDA
I 9 120SYEAR
I 9 100SCC
I 11 120SYY


FDATE is 8-digit date as YYYY/MM/DD format and SDATE is an
8-digit date as MM/DD/YYYY format.

Just convert by moving on to other. For MDY to ISO , use
below syntax.

Z-ADD MDYC SDATE
Z-ADD SYEAR FYEAR
Z-ADD FDATE CYMD

To go from ISO to MDY, you first z-add to fdate, then z-add
fyear to syear, and then z-add sdate into your MDY date.
