Try using a 'date mask' to define each field. DS390 will then generate the necessary COBOL statements to carry out the conversion.

Please confirm that you're using DS390.

Tell me about your source/target stuctures; e.g., sequential, relational, etc.

Thanks.

I think that Ashwin is using DS/390 and will understand about date masks in mainframe jobs, and that Kumar is not using DS/390 and will not.

Kumar, we're talking something like the date masks you see in parallel jobs (for example "%yyyy-%mm-%dd"). However, they are specified differently in mainframe jobs, because these have to generate COBOL rather than C.

I should have observed the job type in the post correctly.....
