Richard, Nope, no TOD EXEC found. The dates on my REXXDATE files were from April 1987. Russ

Re: REXXDATE MODULE
Russ, Thanks. Do you also have TOD EXEC? It appears that it is what has been calling REXXDATE. I would like to bring them into the 21st century. :-) Regards, Richard Schuh > -Original Message- > From: The IBM z/VM Operating System > [mailto:IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU] On Behalf Of Russ Burtnett > Sent: Monday, June 06, 2011 10:18 AM > To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU > Subject: Re: REXXDATE MODULE > > Richard, > > I found a copy of the source and the memo file in one of my > old archives.= > I > suspect it was from a tools tape. > > I'll send it to you offline. > > ...

Re: REXXDATE MODULE
I fully agree with the retirement of these programs. If DATE() doesn't fill the
bill, something else may.

Subject: Re: REXXDATE MODULE
I do recall this function and even used it (trying to find archives) back in
the pre-Y2K conversions. The internal DATE() function in REXX seems to provide
most of what is needed, though. You can translate date formats .. and I
usually do date calculations using DATE('B). I'm pretty sure REXXDATE did date
calculations/conversion - but I need to dig up my old code. If I can find out
more I will post, but would consider converting to DATE() and some REXX code to
avoid reliance on the module (which I doubt is supported).

Re: REXXDATE MODULE
Do you know what this module is capable of? Perhaps there's a suitable replacement. Frank M.
