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.
