        Without knowing why this method is being used to acquire the date, that 
could 
produce different results than the original compiler (I presume Enterprise 
COBOL) would.  Probably just ignoring this will be innocuous, but that 
depends on the format of the  ACCEPT statement used to get the date into 
X-CURRENT-DATE-68.
