Bob,
Seems like a job for GETTOK. It would allow you to them get month, day and
year as three seperate tokens and then you could rebuild the date.

We get dates from the government with a mish-mash of date formats and
this one has me stumped
?m/xd/ccyy
where ? can be blank or null or 0 or 1 AND x can be blank, null,
zero,1,2, or 3.
examples
8/3/2004
8/ 3/2004
8/03/2004
et al.
I need it sortable as in ccyymmdd. The string has many other fields;
it's csv in the PC world so I could go thru with objrexx and unstring
the thing before
up loading to z/OS but a FOCUS solution would be helpful. . .
thnx
