Thanks for your help. Upon further inspection I found the Member Type was CLP38. When I changed it to CLP it amazingly worked! It's always the simple things, isn't it? Thanks again.

I ran the following little test on my V3R2 system sucessfully. Everything ran fine. Used the debugger and it confirms the field &ToDate contains the value '1998/001' after the program invokes the CvtDat command.

*************** Beginning of data ***************************
             Pgm

             Dcl            &FromDate     *Char 06 '010198'
             Dcl            &ToDate       *Char 08

             CvtDat         Date(    &FromDate ) +
                            ToVar(   &ToDate   ) +
                            FromFmt( *MDY      ) +
                            ToFmt(   *LongJul  )

             EndPgm

I never applied any special PTFs. I am at cume level 96317 (fairly old).
