I've been through this one and finally got some help from the Response Center over a year ago. The problem is due to the two intrinsics hitting two different clocks. I don't remember the real fix. The problem appeared when we replaced our 925 board with a 935 that sat on a shelf somewhere. It was an adventure. I'm sorry that I can't put my finger on the exact solution, but I remember the problem. - Bob Feighner - Director, Computer Services - 159 Administration Building - East Central University - Ada, OK 74820 - [log in to unmask] - phone: 405/332-8000 ext 256 - FAX: 405/436-4563 >>> Igor Yasno <[log in to unmask]> 04/01/97 02:46pm >>> 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?
