Greetings, I had noticed an interesting discrepancy between the results of CURRENT-DATE and FUNCTION CURRENT-DATE operations in COBOL. It seems that DISPLAY CURRENT-DATE returns '04/01/97', while FUNCTION CURRENT-DATE returns '19930113'. Please note that the DATELINE intrinsic agrees with CURRENT-DATE and returns 'TUE, APR 1, 1997, 12:39 PM'. Can anyone explain the reasons for the difference?
