The  Convert   Object  Description   Date  command   is  intended   for
converting  the MMDDYY format  used in the  date fields of  the DSPOBJD
outfile.   The date is returned in the  CYYMMDD format.  The CPP may be
called directly.

A typical series of commands would be:

              DCLF      QTEMP/yyy
              DCL       &TOCYMD *CHAR LEN(7)

              DSPOBJD   OBJ(xxx/*ALL) OUTFILE(QTEMP/yyy)
               .
              RCVF
               .
              CVTOBJDAT FROMDAT(&ODCDAT) FROMCEN(&ODCCEN)
                          TOCYMD(&TOCYMD)

CVTOBJDAT escape messages you can monitor for
---------------------------------------------

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

Calling the CPP from a HLL program
----------------------------------

The CPP may be called directly such as the following RPG code:

     I* Qualified program name for CVTOBJDAT
     I              'TAATOOL/TAADAUXC  '  C         ZZCOBD
     .
     C                     CALL ZZCOBD
     C                     PARM           ODCDAT  6
     C                     PARM           ODCCEN  1
     C                     PARM           CYMD    7

CVTOBJDAT Command parameters                          *CMD
----------------------------

   FROMDATE      The From  date field in  the format  of MMDDYY.   This
                 would typically  be a DSPOBJD outfile  date field such
                 as ODCDAT.

   FROMCEN       The  From century  field.   This would typically  be a
                 DSPOBJD outfile date field such as ODCCEN.

   TOCYMD        The return  data  in CYYMMDD  format.   This  must  be
                 specified as *CHAR LEN(7).

Restrictions
------------

Because CVTOBJDAT returns  a value, the command  may only be used  in a
CL program.

Prerequisites
-------------

The following TAA Tools must be on your system:

     SNDESCINF       Send escape information
     SNDESCMSG       Send escape message

Implementation
--------------

None, the tool is ready to use.
