The Change DSPOBJD  Outfile Dates command  changes all date  formats in
the outfile  created by DSPOBJD that are in  an MMDDYY format to either
DDMMYY  or YYMMDD.   The DSPOBJD  outfile has several  date fields that
use the MMDDYY  format regardless of the  job date format.   CHGDSPOBJO
makes  it easier to  work with  the dates  if you  want a  format other
than MMDDYY.

The  ODSRCD field (last source  change date) is  always in YYMMDD order
and is not changed.

The file format must be QLIDOBJD  which is the format used by  DSPOBJD.

You must have *CHANGE authority to the outfile created by DSPOBJD.

A typical series of commands would be:

             DSPOBJD    OBJ(xxx/*ALL) OBJTYPE(*ALL)
                          OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(QTEMP/yyy)
             CHGDSPOBJO FILE(QEMP/yyy) TOFMT(YYMMDD)

The DSPOBJD  command outputs  one record  for each  object type in  the
library.   The CHGDSPOBJO  command causes all  date fields in  the file
to be changed from MMDDYY  format to YYMMDD.   If some date fields  are
blank  (such as  an object  has  never been  saved),  the data  remains
unchanged.

The date fields that are changed are:

        ODDDAT   - Display date
        ODCDAT   - Create date
        ODSDAT   - Save date
        ODRDAT   - Restore date
        ODSRCD   - Source change date
        ODLDAT   - Last changed date
        ODUDAT   - Last used date
        ODTDAT   - Reset date of usage information
        ODADAT   - Save while active date
        ODJRDT   - Journal date

The ODSRCD  field (last source  change date) is always  in YYMMDD order
and is not changed.

CHGDSPOBJO escape messages you can monitor for
----------------------------------------------

None.  Escape messages from based on functions will be re-sent.

CHGDSPOBJO Command parameters                         *CMD
-----------------------------

   DSPOBJDOUT    The  qualified name of  the file that  was output from
                 the DSPOBJD command.   It must  have a format name  of
                 QLIDOBJD  which is  the  name used  by  DSPOBJD.   The
                 library  value defaults to *LIBL.   A specific library
                 or *CURLIB may also be used.

   TOFMT         The requested format of the  date field to change  to.
                 All  date  fields  output by  DSPOBJD  are  in  MMDDYY
                 format.   The TOFMT  value must be  DDMMYY, or YYMMDD.

   MBR           The member to be changed.  *FIRST is the default.

                 A specific member name or *LAST may be specified.
