If you need to compare any of the DATE fields to one of the CA 1 keyword dates you can use the DT format to define the date.
In the DEFINE the value can be any date in your selected date format (see your TMOOPTxx member and the option of DATEFMT),
a julian date (yyyy/ddd) or a date keyword. The keywords include, USER/uuu, CATLG/ddd, LDATE/ddd, CYCLE/ccc, PERM, PERMANENT,
STATS/nnn and CATALOG.
This is an example of how to compare and list all tapes under catalog control.
